Guatemala: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Complete the online declaration and get an entry stamp. Japanese embassy guidance updated September 2026 allows submission from 15 days before travel.
- Violent crime and roadblocks can affect tourist routes; avoid night travel and use reputable transport.
Ingresso e visti
British tourists can enter visa-free for up to 90 days. The CA-4 clock is shared with neighbouring members and does not reset at each border; Honduras still has separate visa requirements for British citizens. Complete the SAT electronic declaration for air entry and exit and save its QR code.
