Hello! My name is Heidi and I am from Guatemala. I was born and raised in Guatemala, my father retired and we ended up in the United States. I am looking for jobs so that I can move back to Guatemala. Hoping this forum helps!

Hello all,

My name is Jonathan Coronado and I am from the United States. I am 38 years old thinking of retiring to Guatemala when my son goes to college in about 10 years or so. I am a young pensioner due to being in the Iraqi war, which now the US government pays me pension for my disabilities (back & knees). I want to learn as much as I can before I decide but so far Guatemala City peeks my interests as it has a lot of amenities. I also want to know about residency for those that are pensioners. I can speak Spanish as well. Hope everyone has a good day and hope to meet people with interest in Guatemala.

@onyekemaria Hello Maria, I don't think you should cancel it. If you don't mind, how was the process of getting your visa? can you relate?

Hello,

My name is Sabestuf, I am from Nigeria and am currently based in Japan with my family. I want to move to Guatemala with my family to explore South America and establish my business. I inquired about the visa at the Embassy in Tokyo, and I was told to get a guarantor. Can anyone help me out on how to get a guarantor or link me up with a reliable one?

Thank you for your understanding.
