Israel to Guatemala visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Guatemala. Israel is on Guatemala's visa-exempt list and travelers receive a stamp on arrival permitting up to 90 days, shared across the CA-4 region (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua). The only paperwork is the free electronic Regional Traveler Affidavit (DJRV) before arrival. Guatemala grants visa-free entry to ordinary passport holders of 86 jurisdictions, including Israel, for stays of up to 90 days for tourism. There is no visa fee, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival process — entry is granted at the port of entry with a passport stamp. The 90-day allowance is not specific to Guatemala alone: it applies to the combined time spent within the Central America-4 (CA-4) Border Control Agreement zone, which also covers El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. The clock starts at the first CA-4 entry and runs within a 180-day window. Travelers who wish to remain longer can apply for a single 90-day extension (prórroga) at an Instituto Guatemalteco de Migración (IGM) office for roughly USD 25 paid in quetzales, up to a 180-day total. Since 2024-2025, all arriving and departing travelers must complete the free electronic Regional Traveler Affidavit (Declaracion Jurada Regional del Viajero, DJRV) online before travel; this generates a QR code requested at check-in and on arrival. Guatemala is in Central America and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Standard entry conditions include a passport with sufficient validity (commonly recommended six months, minimum three months beyond stay), proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. Reports labelling Israel a "Category B" visa-required nationality are inaccurate; authoritative sources consistently list Israel as visa-exempt.
