Guatemala
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A valid U.S. passport is
required for all U.S. citizens, regardless of age, to enter Guatemala and to
depart Guatemala for return to the U.S. Even if dual nationals are permitted
to enter Guatemala on a second nationality passport, U.S. citizens returning
to the United States from Guatemala are not allowed to board their flights
without a valid U.S. passport. Certificates of Naturalization, birth
certificates, driver's licenses, and photocopies are not accepted by
Guatemalan authorities as alternative travel documents. While in Guatemala,
U.S. citizens should carry their passports, or a photocopy of their
passports, with them at all times.
An exit tax must be paid when departing Guatemala by air. The exit tax
(currently $30) is generally included in an airline ticket price, but may be
charged separately. There is an additional airport security fee (20
Quetzales, approximately $2.50) that all travelers must pay at the airport.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: A full range
of medical care is available in Guatemala City, but medical care outside the
city is limited. Guatemala's public hospitals frequently experience serious
shortages of basic medicines and equipment. Care in private hospitals is
generally adequate for most common illnesses and injuries, and many of the
medical specialists working in them are U.S. trained and certified.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
The latest security information is available from the Embassy, including
its website,
http://guatemala.usembassy.gov. The Consular Section is open for citizen
services, including registration, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m.
to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursdays and 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Fridays,
excluding U.S. and Guatemalan holidays. The second and last Friday of each
month are reserved for administrative matters; therefore, routine citizen
services are not provided. Emergency services are available at all times.
The U.S. Embassy is located in Guatemala City at Avenida La Reforma 7-01,
Zone 10; telephone (502) 2-326-4000 during Embassy business hours (8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m.), or (502) 2-331-2354 for emergencies during non-business
hours; fax (502) 2-332-4353; Internet web site -
