📝 NOTES
The Honduran National Migration Institute lists pensioners as a residence category and requires permanent, lawful, stable foreign pension income of at least $1,500/month, plus evidence that the pension will be received in Honduras through a national financial institution. General residence filings require an attorney representative, criminal records, Honduran police clearance, medical certificate, passport copy, and migration movement certificate.
