A source from the Embassy of Honduras in Ottawa stated that
there are a number of Honduran residence categories for aliens,
each with specific conditions or limitations (3 Sept. 1991). The
source added that an alien outside Honduras with an expired visa
or without a valid residence visa and who wishes to reside in
Honduras would have to apply for such a visa at a Honduran
Consulate. The Consulate would review the application to ensure
that the applicant meets the legal requirements for the visa
being requested (Ibid.).
The same source added that an alien who is already in
Honduras and wishes to become a resident or formalize their legal
status as a resident would have to apply to the pertinent local
authorities, which are the Ministerio de Gobernación (equivalent
of Ministry of the Interior), the district's Consejo
Metropolitano (equivalent of City Hall) and the Ministerio de
Relaciones Exteriores (Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The
procedure is usually carried out by lawyers and other specialized
persons (Ibid.).
Additional and/or corroborating information on the requested
subject could not be found among the sources currently available
to the IRBDC.
