🔴 | British nationals and people travelling on British Overseas Territories passports, including Caymanians, will now require a visa to enter Honduras.
The Honduran Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently announced the change in the visa regime, which is being introduced in retaliation for Britain imposing a visa requirement last year on Honduran nationals entering the UK.
However, there is currently nowhere in Cayman where people can obtain travel visas for Honduras, as there is no Honduran embassy or consulate based here. Instead, it appears Britons and holders of Cayman Islands or other British Overseas Territories passports would need to apply to a consulate or embassy overseas to get a visa for Honduras.
When announcing its plan to impose the visa requirement in July last year, the UK government stated it was because of a rise in the number of asylum applications from Hondurans “who have abused the provision to visit the UK for a limited period as non-visa nationals in order to do so”.
It noted that in 2017 there were nine asylum applications from Honduran nationals. In 2022, there were 789 asylum applications, and in the first quarter of 2023 there were 275.
