USD 2,500/month as a rentista, or USD 1,500 as a pensionado; half of either on the discretionary route.
How this figure is set: A fixed amount set in law or on the official page. The wording on the source is: USD 2,500.00 mensuales — the law names the figure in US dollars, 'o su equivalente en moneda nacional'
. Formula: Rentista: rentas permanentes, lícitas y estables, generated abroad or in Honduras, of not less than USD 2,500 a month. Pensionado: pensions from abroad of not less than USD 1,500 a month. Inversionista: an investment of at least USD 50,000. Acuerdo Ministerial 374-2025 then opens a fourth way in for somebody who misses those amounts: under art. 21 numeral 8 they may apply having proved 'al menos el 50% de lo exigido a cada una de estas calidades migratorias', which is USD 1,250 a month for a rentista. That route is explicitly not a right — the Acuerdo's CUARTO clause says the authorisation 'no constituye una obligación para el Estado' and that the Secretaría may accept, deny or shelve the file without generating any acquired right — so it is recorded here and not stored as the threshold.

Legal basis: Ley de Migración y Extranjería, Decreto 208-2003: art. 23 (rentista), art. 24 (pensionado), art. 33 numeral 2 (inversionista), art. 20 (90 days for visitors, extendable per the Reglamento) and arts. 18 and 21, which list every non-resident and resident category the country has. None of them is a remote-work or teleworking category: Honduras has not created one. Read on 21 September 2026 from the consolidated text in the FAO legal database, and the three income articles are also quoted verbatim in the footnotes of Acuerdo Ministerial 374-2025 of 29 July 2025, as published in La Gaceta No. 36,924 of 23 August 2025, which was read in full. inm.gob.hn refused the connection on the same day, so the ministry's own pages were not reachable.
Does this lead to permanent residence?
Direct pathway. Five years as a legal resident gives the derecho de radicación definitiva, and rentista years are legal-resident years.
Ley de Migración y Extranjería, Decreto 208-2003, art. 21 numeral 7: 'Extranjeros que adquieren derecho de radicación definitiva en el país, después de haber permanecido como residentes legales o con permiso especial de permanencia por un período mínimo de cinco (5) años y han cumplido con las leyes de Honduras'. Art. 37 sets the same clock for the calidad de residente inmigrado: five consecutive years in the country with the residence card renewed each year. Rentista residence is legal residence, so the years count on the ordinary route and nothing has to be swapped for something else. Read from the consolidated text of the law in the FAO legal database on 21 September 2026.

What it costs to live there
$246 per person, per month. That is what one resident of Honduras spends in an average month with housing included — not what a newcomer renting at market rates will spend, which is higher, and furthest above it in the cheapest countries.

City figures are crowdsourced from livingcost.net, not official: one person's monthly spending plus the rent of a one-bedroom flat outside the centre. They are here because a national average cannot show the spread between a capital and the places people actually move to. Checked 2026-09-20.
Cost of living confidence: high · checked 2026-09-20World Bank national accounts, reference year 2025: households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure (NE.CON.PRVT.CD, current US$) divided by population (SP.POP.TOTL) and by twelve. This is what one resident spends in an average month with housing included, since national accounts count the imputed rent of owner-occupiers. It is an average over the whole population, not a visitor's budget, so a newly arrived remote worker renting at market rates will spend more - see the city figures for what that looks like.

How to apply
There is no live application for Honduras in this dataset. What the row records about residence: Five years as a legal resident gives the derecho de radicación definitiva, and rentista years are legal-resident years.
No nomad visa, and nothing announced. Remote workers use the 90-day CA-4 tourist stay, or the rentista residence, which was written for people living off rents rather than off work.
