United Arab Emirates to Guatemala visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for Guatemala. The UAE is listed in Guatemala's Category A visa-exempt group, and short tourist stays are generally admitted for up to 90 days within the CA-4 region. As of 18 June 2026, holders of an ordinary United Arab Emirates passport can visit Guatemala for tourism or a short non-work stay without obtaining a visa in advance. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists normal UAE passports as visa-free for Guatemala and tourism stays as 90 days. Guatemala's official Instituto Guatemalteco de Migracion explains that Category A nationals do not need a visa and enter with a valid passport; its Category A list includes Emiratos Arabes Unidos (United Arab Emirates). The usual tourist stay is up to 90 days and is shared across the Central America-4 (CA-4) area: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. Crossing between CA-4 countries does not reset the 90-day clock. Travelers should complete Guatemala's official SAT Declaracion Jurada Regional de Viajero before entry and again before exit, keep the QR confirmation available, and carry normal supporting evidence such as onward or return travel, accommodation details and proof of funds. Guatemala itself generally requires a valid passport; UAE MOFA and some government travel advisories or carriers apply a stricter six-month passport-validity rule, while GOV.UK advises two blank passport pages, so using a six-month buffer and two blank pages is the safer travel standard. Guatemala is not in the Schengen Area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
