US passport holders enter Guatemala visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance application is needed. Guatemala is part of the CA-4 agreement with El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, meaning the 90-day period is shared across all four countries. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City, immigration stamps your passport after a quick review.
The 90-day CA-4 clock starts when you enter any of the four member countries and does not reset when crossing borders between them. For stays beyond 90 days, apply for an extension at the Dirección General de Migración in Guatemala City (fee: GTQ 200, about $26). Antigua Guatemala, Lake Atitlán, and Tikal are the main draws.
