Türkiye to Guatemala visa requirements

No visa required. Turkish ordinary passport holders can enter Guatemala visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. Turkey is on Guatemala's visa-exemption list, so holders of an ordinary Turkish passport do not need a visa for short tourist visits. On arrival they receive a stay of up to 90 days. This 90-day allowance applies across the CA-4 region (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua combined), meaning the clock keeps running while you move between those four countries without leaving the bloc. At the port of entry travelers must present a passport valid for at least six months, evidence of onward or return travel, and may be asked to show proof of sufficient funds and accommodation. There is no application or fee for entry; an extension of up to a further 90 days can be requested in-country from the Guatemalan Institute of Migration (IGM) if needed. Guatemala is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules are not relevant to this route.
