Overview
The Courtesy Visa is a specialized visa category issued to individuals traveling to Honduras on official missions, including members of cultural or sports delegations, and staff of international organizations who do not hold an official or diplomatic passport.
The Courtesy Visa is designed for individuals on official missions, cultural or sports delegations, and international organization staff who lack diplomatic status. It is a non-immigrant visa that facilitates entry for specific official activities rather than local employment.
Applicants must coordinate closely with the Honduran Ministry of Foreign Affairs and their local consulate to ensure all mission documentation is verified.
