The decisive three for a longer stay in Honduras.
Healthcare
Public system (Health Secretariat/IHSS) is underfunded and unevenly staffed, while private hospitals in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula offer the best available care.
Taxes
Honduras generally taxes only Honduran-source income, so foreign-source income and foreign pensions of residents are typically outside the tax base.
English
Low — Spanish is dominant; English is most common in tourism areas such as the Bay Islands (Roatán) and among some urban professionals.
