Visa Services
United States Consulate in Guatemala
The Visa Services Unit of the Consular Section is committed to the protection of U.S. citizens at home and abroad. We protect U.S. borders by facilitating travel for legitimate visa applicants while screening out persons who might do us harm or are otherwise ineligible for a visa under U.S. immigration laws. At all times, we strive to provide quality service consistent with U.S. laws and regulations.
