Where you can move for work if your passport is from Honduras

One question, every country, with your nationality already applied. In 2 of them something is written that changes the answer for you; in the other 30 the general rule is what you get, and that is the answer rather than a gap. Every line is that country’s own record.

Central Americans Skip the Labour-Market Test

reaches you through CA-4

The general rule it sits on

Work is a permission attached to a temporary residence, not a status of its own, and who grants it depends on whether you are employed or self-employed. Self-employment is authorised by the migration directorate and limited to the activities it names. Employment by someone else needs a favourable opinion from the Ministry of Labour, which has thirty working days to give it and whose silence counts as consent - a deemed-approval rule that is rarer in the region than it ought to be. Central Americans by origin are outside that machinery altogether: the migration directorate issues their work and stay permit on its own. Losing the job does not make you irregular; it starts a ninety-working-day clock to find another, and five days to leave if you do not. Temporary residence of any kind is capped at five years in total, and since March 2026 a temporary resident has to be physically in the country at least ninety days a year.

The Ninety Per Cent Workforce Rule Can Be Relaxed for Central Americans

reaches you through CA-4

The general rule it sits on

Two quite different people hold the same Guatemalan status. One has a Guatemalan employer, a job offer letter and a registered Guatemalan guarantor, and needs a separate work permit from the labour ministry within three months of the residence being granted. The other has a foreign employer, needs no Guatemalan guarantor and no job offer, and qualifies on bank statements showing a minimum monthly remuneration from abroad over the last year - more if dependants come too. Both are "migrant workers" under article 75 of the Migration Code, both get between one and five years, and both run into the labour code's quota: nine in ten employees of a Guatemalan business must be Guatemalan, and they must take at least eighty-five per cent of the payroll.
