There is high risk to your security in Honduras due to the unsettled political and security situation and we advise against all tourist and non-essential travel.
On 28 June 2009, President Zelaya was expelled by the Honduran armed forces. An interim president has been appointed by Congress. Military personnel have been deployed on the streets of the capital Tegucigalpa. There have been reports of demonstrations, protests and roadblocks around the country. The security situation remains tense and unpredictable and civil unrest is possible.
New Zealanders in Honduras are advised to avoid areas of police and military activity, stay indoors where possible in Tegucigalpa and adhere to any restrictions and instructions issued by the local authorities. We recommend you avoid all demonstrations, protests and rallies as they have the potential to turn violent with little warning. We recommend you monitor local events closely to keep informed of the security situation.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Honduras should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place that include provision for medical evacuation by air.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in Honduras are strongly encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
