What do I need to know before moving to Honduras?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Honduras, they said:
"Honduras is a Spanish-speaking country, so it is important for expats to have a basic understanding of the language before moving there. Expats should also be aware of the high crime rate in Honduras, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. It is also important to research the cost of living in Honduras, as it can be significantly lower than in other countries. Additionally, expats should be aware of the cultural norms and customs of Honduras, and be respectful of the local culture. Finally, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits before moving to Honduras," remarked one expat who made the move to Honduras.
