Honduras has implemented new immigration procedures to ensure the effectiveness of airport biosecurity protocols to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.  

 

Immigration Pre-Check

One of the prerequisites for entering the country is to complete the online Immigration Pre-check Form found here: https://prechequeo.inm.gob.hn/

Please Note:

  • The form cannot be submitted until you are within 48 hours of your entry date. Before the 48-hour timeframe, you can advance the process by registering on the site and completing the questions; however, you must wait until you’re within the 48-hour timeframe to submit. (This is to avoid excess records in the immigration system).

  • It is best to complete the form on a desktop or laptop rather than a mobile device.

  • You will receive a response via email, and you will need to print it out and carry it with you.

  • To make things speedier during check-in at the immigration desk, highlight your name, pre-check #, and date of travel.

Here is a Pre-check User Guide to help you complete the online immigration form.
