Summary

A holder of a Honduran special stay permit can request permission for qualifying family members to accompany them. The sponsor must document the relationship, any adult child’s dependence, and financial support. It is not independent permission to work. Reaching adulthood can require a category change unless continued dependency is accepted for study, disability, or another justified reason.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

An eligible family relationship

Article 75 covers spouses, dependent children, and the paternal or maternal grandparents of the couple’s children. An adult child must provide evidence of continued dependency.

A relative with the right permit and financial support

The person applying for you must already hold a special stay permit and be able to support you. A tourist or someone with a different residence category does not automatically qualify to sponsor this permit.

Family records and limits on work

Provide the marriage and birth records with the required authentication, plus dependency evidence where relevant. Article 141 requires a category change for paid work, marriage, or other relevant changes in dependency.

The special stay permit is the starting point
  1. Sponsor's permission Confirm the sponsor already holds a Honduran special stay permit.
  2. Covered family relationship Document the applicable relationship and any adult-child dependence.
  3. Sponsor's request Provide proof of financial support and each relative's documents.

This is not a generic family route available through any visitor or resident.

What This Route Allows

  2. Prepare the records proving each family relationship and any adult child’s dependency.
  3. Have the permit holder request the accompanying permission.
  4. Confirm what happens if a child reaches adulthood, someone marries, or a relative wants paid work.
