Foreword: Guatemala is adjacent to Mexico and Belize. I entered the country by land from Mexico to Belize and then to Guatemala. Since Guatemala is not connected with It is a country that China has established diplomatic relations with, so it is not possible to apply for a visa domestically. It can only be applied for in a third country such as the United States, Mexico and Belize.

It must be said that the current travel information about all aspects of Central America is very limited. It is not comprehensive. It can be said that I applied for this visa by mistake and fumble along the way.

The earlier travel information stated that you can enter Guatemala with a US visa. First of all, correction: "Fly to Guatemala" If you only have a U.S. visa, you will be rejected. Just have a U.S. visa when entering by land. "I personally tested that you can't enter by land with a U.S. visa but haven't applied for a Guatemalan visa. You must apply for a visa!

The specific process of applying for a Guatemala visa:

On July 1st, I arrived from the Belize border town I set out from the town of San Ignacio to go through the border between Belize and Guatemala. After paying the Belize departure tax, I arrived at the Guatemalan border inspection office. After checking my passport, I was told that I could not enter the country with only a US visa.

However, the staff at the Guatemala port are not as scary as the legend says. They are very gentle and speak Spanish. I don’t understand it very well, so I hired someone to translate it into English. I already knew that I might not be able to get in without a visa and only relied on a US visa, but I understand at this time. To pretend not to understand, the useful information I got was that the staff at the time kept telling me that the Guatemala Council at the Belize Port could issue visas to people holding Chinese passports. But the day I went to pass the customs was a Sunday and I didn’t have to go to work. So I returned. I stayed in San Ignacio for one night and found the specific location for applying for a visa in the town online.

On the morning of Monday, July 2, I took a taxi to the small town of Benque Viejo Town, which is the location of the Guatemalan Consulate in Belize. The location. There are almost no pedestrians on the road and there are very secluded places. After entering the consulate, the staff gave me an application form and a list of materials, and asked me to return here before 11:30, because they had a lunch break at 12 o'clock. And I was required to prepare the visa fee. 25 US dollars in cash.?

Don’t worry about running out of space to print materials. There is a big shop at the back of the consulate where you can take photos, print, copy and surf the Internet. It’s very They were considerate and convenient. All the materials were prepared on the spot and it cost me about $8 (sorry, I forgot the price). The application form is in Spanish. If you don’t understand it, you can ask the employees in this store.

The attitude of the staff is quite good, and they are very popular if they can speak basic Spanish. I feel like they are not impressed How come you don’t know Spanish yet you try so hard to answer and communicate with them, but they keep laughing and are happy to help you?

In the end, I got the visa and rushed to the border immediately! ! !
