Retiring in Honduras: the visa situation
As of our last check, Honduras offers a dedicated retirement route: the Pensionado (retiree) / Rentista residency.
The income requirement is in the middle of the range we see for retirement visas. Pensionado requires a guaranteed pension of at least USD 1,500/mo; Rentista requires at least USD 2,500/mo in stable passive income, plus USD 150/mo per dependent.
Territorial tax system exempting foreign income, minimal physical presence (roughly one visit per year), inclusion of family members, CA-4 free movement (El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua), and a path to citizenship after about three years.
