Do Indians need a visa for Guatemala?
Indian passport holders need a visa for Guatemala unless they hold a valid visa from the United States, Canada or the Schengen Area, which allows entry without a Guatemalan visa. Otherwise, apply at a Guatemalan embassy or consulate.
When you do not need a visa
You can enter without a visa if you hold one of the following:
- A valid US visa

This exemption is set out by the Guatemalan Institute of Migration. Carry the visa with you and confirm it qualifies with a Guatemalan consulate before you travel.
