An older version of the W-8 allowed NRAs to provide a written statement explaining why they did not have a physical address in the country where they claimed residence. I find no parallel language in the current version of the form's instructions.
From my perspective, you have 3 choices:
* refuse to open the account,
* refuse to open an interest bearing account (no W-8BEN needed) or
* obtain a statement explaining why she does not have a permanent address beyond "Honduras." (I know, I just said the current instructions don't provide for it, but she's just opening a bank account, not claiming treaty benefits. So, there are no practical ramifications based on her country of residence and there is some logic to saying you really would not have a physical address in a country where you are legally recognized as being afraid to return.)
