  • No biometrics for visa-free entry
  • Travel health insurance strongly recommended

Visa types

  • No visa required for stays up to 90 days
  • Guatemala is part of the CA-4 border control agreement with El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, so the 90-day allowance applies cumulatively across all four countries

  • No paid work permitted
  • A single extension is possible via the Instituto Guatemalteco de Migración
  • You must exit the entire CA-4 zone to reset the 90-day count

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for entry
  • Extension fee approximately GTQ 100-200 (~€12-24)
  • Extensions processed same day at the Migración office in Guatemala City

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Keep printed copies of accommodation bookings
  • Check current security advisories from the Auswärtiges Amt before travel
