Documents Required
Step-by-Step Application Process
Step 1: Gather all required documents and ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity.
Step 2: Download and fill out the Guatemala visa application form from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or obtain it from the embassy.
Step 3: Book a visit to the nearest Guatemala embassy or consulate. Pakistan does not have a resident Guatemalan embassy, so applicants may need to apply at the Guatemalan embassy in a third country such as the UAE or Turkey.
Step 4: Submit your application in person or by mail (check with the specific embassy for their process), along with all supporting documents and the visa fee.
Step 5: Wait for processing, which typically takes 10 to 20 business days.
Step 6: Collect your passport with the visa, or receive it by mail if that option is available.
Step 7: Before travel, ensure you have all documents ready as immigration officers at the port of entry may ask to verify them.
⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistan does not have a resident Guatemalan embassy. Pakistani applicants must apply through the Guatemalan embassy in a third country, which may involve additional costs and time. The visa fee estimate is approximate and may vary by embassy location. Always confirm the latest requirements and fees directly with the embassy you plan to apply through. Guatemala is part of the Central America-4 (CA-4) Agreement, so a Guatemalan visa may also allow entry to El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua under certain conditions.

- ✗ Failure to provide travel insurance
