Visafar / EU residence permit / Egypt / Guatemala
Can Egyptian passport holders with an EU/EEA residence permit enter Guatemala?
Yes. With a valid EU residence permit, Egyptian passport holders can enter Guatemala visa-free for up to 90 days. On the passport alone they would need a visa.

- Passport alone
- Visa required
- Checked
- 25 September 2026
Conditions
- Qualifying documents: a valid US, Canadian, Schengen or Mexican visa (Mexico added by Acuerdo 05-2021), or permanent residence in a Category A country such as the US or Canada — permanent residents are classed by the country they live in.
- Only for nationals in CA-4 Category B for Guatemala — for example India, the Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Morocco and the Dominican Republic. Category C nationals (for example Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, China, Venezuela) still need a visa: a valid US, Canadian, Schengen or Mexican visa only lets them apply for a consular visa instead of a consulted one.
- 90 days, extendable by a further 90.
- CA-4 zone: the allowance is shared with Honduras and El Salvador — crossing between them does not reset the clock.
- No prior-use or minimum-validity test is documented; the earlier requirement for both has been removed.
- EU/EEA residence counts only if it is PERMANENT residence; a temporary residence permit is not covered.
Also accepted instead of an EU/EEA residence permit: US visa, US Green Card, Canadian visa, Canadian PR, Schengen visa.
