Update on Vietnam visa for Honduran citizens


Vietnam visas for Honduran citizens can be arranged online without travelling to a Vietnamese embassy. Before applying, check the requirements for your chosen visa, your arrival date and any countries where you will transit.

Can Honduran citizens enter Vietnam visa-free?

No. Honduran passport holders need a valid visa to enter Vietnam for every purpose of entry. 

For your application, prepare an undamaged passport with at least 6 months of validity and 2 blank pages. Your visa must match the passport you use to travel. Check your full name, passport number, date of birth and visa validity before departure.

Is there a Vietnamese embassy in Honduras?

There is no Vietnamese embassy in Honduras. The Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico is accredited to Honduras and is the relevant embassy to contact for consular guidance.

If you choose to apply through the embassy, contact it first to confirm the required documents, submission method, fees and arrangements for receiving your passport. Do not book a trip to Mexico before confirming whether an in-person visit is necessary.

Honduran passport holders generally need a visa to enter Mexico. However, exemptions apply to travellers holding certain valid visas or permanent residence documents, including qualifying documents from the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom or Schengen countries. 

You do not always need to travel to Mexico to apply for a Vietnam visa. You can get e-visa online or get a visa on arrival at Vietnam airport.

How can Honduran citizens get a Vietnam visa 

For visit under 90 days

Honduran citizens can apply for an e-visa for tourism, business, work, family visits online without visiting the embassy/consulate. A Vietnam e-visa is available for a stay of up to 90 days, with single or multiple entries. You can submit your application through the official Vietnam e-visa portal.

Prepare a clear image of your passport’s biographical page, a suitable portrait photo, your travel details and a payment method accepted by the portal.

Your submitted photo should be clear 

If your purpose is work or business, you must obtain work permit and/or sponsorship letter from a legal Vietnam company first and submit it with your application/

The published processing period is 3-5 working days after receipt of the application and fee. Apply well before your departure so you have time to correct errors or respond to requests for additional information.

Your e-visa will be sent through your e-mail and you can print it out for easy access.

For visits longer than 90 days

A Vietnam e-visa cannot be issued for a stay exceeding 90 days so if you intend to stay longer, you need to apply for a visa through embassy/consulate or a visa approval letter. The approved duration depends on your eligibility and supporting documents.

The required documents depend on your visa category. Your inviting organisation, employer or family sponsor in Vietnam should help arrange the relevant sponsorship and approval procedures.

For applicants in Honduras, the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico is the relevant embassy to contact.

Please note that the stamping fee for a visa on arrival (landing visa) can only be paid in cash. There are ATMs for travelers at the airport; however, you may have to wait in a long line, so it is best to have some USD cash on hand.

Applying for a visa can sometimes be complicated and require various types of documentation; you may want to hire a visa agency to assist you with handling the paperwork, tracking the application process, and resolving any issues that may arise.

Important notes for Honduran travellers applying for a Vietnam visa

Vietnam is 13 hours ahead of Honduras

Be aware of time-zone difference (Source: Vietnam Airlines)

Vietnam is 13 hours ahead of Honduras. For example, 8:00 a.m. on Monday in Vietnam is 7:00 p.m. on Sunday in Honduras.

This difference matters when you submit documents or request urgent processing. Friday afternoon in Honduras is already Saturday in Vietnam.

Check deadlines in Vietnam time and distinguish between customer support availability and immigration processing hours. Standard processing also needs to account for Vietnamese public holidays, particularly the Lunar New Year holiday.

Enter all your names and surnames correctly

If your Honduran passport contains multiple given names or two surnames, enter them in the appropriate fields according to your passport and the application instructions.

Do not omit your second surname or use an abbreviated name simply because it is the name you normally use. Before paying, compare the application with your passport line by line. Check the issued visa again before departure, especially your name, passport number, nationality and date of birth.

Plan visa validity around your arrival in Vietnam

Use your arrival date in Vietnam, not your departure date from Honduras, when planning the visa’s start date. A long journey with several connections can cross multiple calendar dates. Check the local arrival date shown on your flight booking, and make sure the visa remains valid for your intended stay.

If you change flights and arrive earlier, confirm that your visa will already be valid on the revised arrival date.

Confirm the collection location for visa on arrival

If you use VOA, check that your arrival airport matches the approved collection arrangements. Not every airport in Vietnam can issue visas on arrival. Follow the instructions on your approval letter and confirm any itinerary changes before travelling.

Carry the printed approval letter and supporting documents in your hand luggage so they are available at check-in and on arrival.
