Traveling with Minors
Children under age 21 who are traveling unaccompanied or with only one parent must have written, notarized permission to travel from the non-traveling parent(s).
- Best practice – Draft or search for a document stating the minor can travel alone or with someone, not their parent or guardian. Then, get it notarized.
- Upon exiting Honduras, you must go to the Minors Immigration Office before checking into your flight. It is a simple process, and lines can be long, so plan an extra hour for this process.
- The Palmerola Minors Office is located to the far right, just inside the entrance for departures.
- The San Pedro Sula Minors Office is located at the B Terminal entrance.
Licensed Medical Professionals Traveling to Honduras
Important Info about bringing Medical Donations to Honduras
By Honduran law, all medical professionals (doctors, dentists, specialists) must solicit a permit to practice in Honduras. The permit requires the U.S. medical professional to practice under a licensed Honduran medical professional. The Honduran medical professional must solicit a permit from the National Honduran Medical Board 45 days before a U.S. medical professional practices within Honduras.
Documents Required for Permit:
- Copy of Passport of U.S. Medical Professional
- Copy of Current License to Practice
The permit takes a month to process, so all paperwork must be given to SEPE International a month before your arrival date.
Honduras now requires a permit for all medication and medical equipment for donations. If participating in a SEPE International Honduras program, please contact us about any medical donations.
