If you're on the 'Visa Consultada' track
RequiredSome nationalities go through 'Visa Consultada' instead of 'Visa Consular' (see the first item above). For this track, a Honduran consulate can't issue your visa itself -- the National Migration Institute in Tegucigalpa must authorize it first, usually through a sponsor or legal representative inside Honduras. The source's document list for this track (power of attorney, a Honduras-based guarantor's notarized statement of responsibility, police and medical certificates, and more, depending on your case) is not a standard tourist checklist, so it isn't itemized here -- contact a Honduran consulate directly for exactly what your case needs.

Which process applies to you
RequiredHonduras sorts nationalities into three tiers. If you're exempt, see the exemption note instead of this checklist. If not, you're on one of two tracks: 'Visa Consular', issued directly by a Honduran consulate abroad (this checklist), or the heavier 'Visa Consultada', which needs the National Migration Institute (INM) in Tegucigalpa to pre-authorize your application before any consulate can issue it -- see the last item below if that's your case.

Yellow fever vaccination certificate
RequiredRequired if you're arriving from a country the WHO considers at risk for yellow fever transmission. The vaccine must have been given at least 10 days before you travel, and you present the certificate on entry.

Why applications on this route get refused
A visa doesn't guarantee entry
The consulate's own guidance says plainly that being granted a visa doesn't guarantee you'll be admitted -- an immigration and customs officer at the port of entry makes the final call.
How to avoid it: Carry all your supporting documents, not just your passport and visa, in case you're asked about your trip on arrival.
Pre-check form completed outside the required window
The online migratory and customs pre-check form applies to every traveller and must be completed in a specific window -- between 72 and 3 hours before travel -- not simply 'before your trip'.
How to avoid it: Fill it out inside that window, close to your departure.
Missing bank or employment proof
Visa Consular applicants are asked for both a bank certificate with current balance and an employment certificate (or a spouse's, if not working) -- the source lists these as separate items, and missing either is a gap in the required set.
How to avoid it: Bring current originals of both, not just one.
