• Guatemalan immigration law provides limited options for foreign nationals seeking to travel to the country for business or work.
• Following the elimination of the Business Visa, business travelers may now enter Guatemala under the category of Tourist or Traveler to perform consulting and advisory activities. Visa nationals must obtain the appropriate entry visa to enter Guatemala but are no longer required to apply for a Business Visa after arrival. The allowable consecutive stay as a business visitor is up to 90 days with the possibility of a 90-day extension.
• The main work authorization option is the Temporary Residence and Work Permit. The Temporary Residence authorization is granted for an initial stay of up to five years, renewable for the same term. The corresponding work permit is valid for one year, renewable annually.
