Guatemalan nationals must obtain an Afghan consular visa before travelling; there is no visa-on-arrival option.

Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of a Guatemalan passport fall under the consular regime and receive no exemption for Afghanistan. A tourist visa must be obtained before arrival.
How and where to apply
Guatemala hosts no Afghan mission, so applicants approach the nearest accredited Afghan embassy or consulate, or use the official e-visa portal when it is open to tourists. Confirm the exact channel before starting the process.
Documents and fees
Gather a passport valid six months beyond entry, compliant photos, the completed form and proof of accommodation or itinerary. No fee is confirmed for this route; rely on the official tariff shown by the Afghan authorities when you apply.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not fixed and depends on the mission handling the file; an application filed from Central America may need extra transit time. Plan several weeks ahead. Factor in travel advisories on security in Afghanistan.
Common mistakes
Believing a visa is issued at Kabul airport is the most common error; it does not exist for Guatemalans. Watch out too for an under-valid passport and non-compliant photos. Never pay the fee through an unofficial intermediary.
