About the Guatemala passport

The Guatemala passport ranks #31 of 200 globally, ahead of 85% of the world's ranked passports. Like many countries, Guatemala extends citizenship to children of its nationals born abroad, making the passport potentially available to subsequent generations through descent.

Passport context

Guatemala applies a top marginal income tax rate of 7% and a capital gains tax rate of 10%. The country operates a territorial tax regime, taxing only income sourced within Guatemala, with foreign-sourced income generally exempt. Expats who establish tax residency in Guatemala and earn the bulk of their income abroad may significantly reduce their overall tax burden under this structure.
