In a global economy, our clients find that immigration matters have become more central to their cross-border businesses. We have offered immigration law services to our clients. To multinational corporations we provide support for bringing foreign employees to live and work in Guatemala. To individual clients we offer legal advice on obtaining a temporary or permanent residence in Guatemala or even applying for Guatemalan citizenship.

We assist each client in preparing and filing immigration documentation, as well as in following up on periodic requirements for maintaining his or her visa status in Guatemala.

Our immigration lawyers give each client personal attention in close coordination with our tax, labor, and foreign trade experts. In this way we can assist a client that is new to Guatemala not only in immigration matters but also related issues, such as his or her residency for income tax purposes, tax liability for Guatemalan-source income, restrictions on a Guatemalan company’s hiring of foreign individuals, and even the rules governing the client’s importing household goods, automobiles, and personal effects.
