Notes
The Honduran National Migration Institute lists investors as a residence category and requires documentary proof of at least $50,000 invested in lawful activity, a technical feasibility study, investment schedule, a $5,000 Central Bank deposit certificate to guarantee the investment, and registration with the investor registry of the industry and commerce authority.
