  • Save the PDF to your phone or print to have it available when asked for it.
  • Family members may use the same login account to create additional “prechecks” as needed.  Return to the home page, click on “Create Precheck,” and repeat the steps for each person.

  • For the United States, go to E and select “Estados Unidos de Norte America.”

2.) Customs Declaration Form (Formulario de declaración jurada de aduana) 

  1. Return to the home page to complete the customs form.
  2. Only one form is required for each husband and wife and children under 21.
  3. A PDF of the completed Customs Form will be emailed to you, which you may print and sign.  (Alternately, you can wait to fill out the paper form you will be offered on the flight to Honduras.)
  4. You’ll need to give the Customs Form to the immigration officer upon arrival to Roatan.

3.) Health Survey (Ficha de Vigilancia Epidemiológica de la Salud)

To complete the Health Survey, you will need:

  1. A photo of your passport page.
  2. A photo of your COVID-19 VACCINATION CARD or COVID-19 TEST results. (The file format must be a JPG or PNG. PDFs will not work.)
  3. Return to the home page and click on the link for the Health Survey.  See Example Here or Click Here.

Note:

  • You are not required to print this form. Additionally, you will not receive a confirmation email.
  • The health survey is for the Honduran Health Department; although submitted electronically, you MUST also bring your physical, ORIGINAL Vaccination Card or Negative Covid-19 Test for Immigration. You will be denied boarding or entry into the country without them.

Refer to this User Guide for further assistance.

Helpful Tips:

  • You cannot submit the forms until 48 hours before your arrival date.  Before the 48-hour timeframe, you can advance the process by creating an account on the site and getting your username and password.  (This is to avoid excess records in the immigration system).
  • It is best to complete the form on a desktop or laptop rather than a mobile device.

    2.) COVID-19 Vaccine Card for Fully Vaccinated Travelers

    If you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and traveling at least 14 days after your final shot, you DO NOT need to get tested for COVID-19.

    Please Note:

    • You will need to show the physical card to the immigration officer in Roatan upon arrival.
    • Immigration will NOT accept photocopies, medical records, or digital copies.
    • If you’ve lost your card, you should be able to get a replacement card at the location where you received the vaccine.

    You are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19: 14 days or more after you have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca), or 14 days or more after you have received a single-dose vaccine (J&J/Janssen).
