South Korea to Guatemala visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Guatemala. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days, which counts within the shared CA-4 region (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua). A South Korea (KR) ordinary passport holder traveling to Guatemala for tourism or a short visit does not require a visa. Guatemala grants visa-free entry to South Korean nationals for stays of up to 90 days. Importantly, Guatemala is a member of the CA-4 Border Control Agreement together with El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua: the 90-day allowance applies to total time spent across all four countries combined, not 90 days in each. To reset the clock you must exit the CA-4 zone entirely. On arrival you receive an entry stamp; no advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival fee applies. A passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, a return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds are standard expectations. Guatemala is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Extensions of up to a further 90 days can be requested in-country from the Guatemalan Institute of Migration (Instituto Guatemalteco de Migracion). This verdict was confirmed against multiple authoritative references current as of 2026-05-30.
