Q. Is it safe for Americans to live in Guatemala?

Q. Can a US citizen move to Guatemala?
Visas. Foreigners including American citizens usually don’t need a visa to stay in Guatemala for up to 90 days, after which they can request an extension, according to the U.S. Department of State. Some expats aim to stay indefinitely by leaving the country for a day or two every 90 days before returning.
Q. Can a US citizen own property in Guatemala?
Foreigners are free to own property in Guatemala outright. Many form a Sociedad Anonima (S.A.) or corporation to own their property. Having an S.A. opens doors to the Guatemalan banking system, and if one wishes to start a business of some sort, is about the only way for a foreigner to do so.
