Tourist Visa
Indian passport holders require a visa to enter Guatemala for tourism or business purposes. However, there is an exemption for those holding valid multiple-entry visas for the United States, Canada, or Schengen Area countries:
- Visa Exemption: If you possess a valid multiple-entry visa for the U.S., Canada, or Schengen countries, you can enter Guatemala without obtaining a separate Guatemalan visa. This exemption allows for a stay of up to 90 days.
- Visa Requirement: If you do not hold such visas, you must apply for a Guatemalan visa in advance. Please note that Guatemala does not offer e-visa or visa-on-arrival facilities for Indian citizens.
Important:
Applicants must submit their visa applications in person at the Embassy and may be required to attend a personal interview.
