Working and living in Guatemala – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Guatemala requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Guatemalan expat life. Living abroad in Guatemala raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Guatemala?ʺ, ʺWhat's the basic weekly rate for a car rental?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Guatemala Ciudad should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Guatemalan municipality in Puerto San José?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Guatemala is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Guatemala aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Guatemala. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from local infrastructure, to expat institutions & clubs or food and shopping, up to health-care. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺWhat's so special about Lake Atitlán (aka "Gringocastenango")?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
