ARRIVAL FORMALITIES
General Process:
On arrival, yachts are normally visited by Customs, Immigration, Police, Health and Port Captain.
Yachts coming from the US (where zarpes are not routinely issued) should get verification of date of departure from the USCG or other source (marina receipt). An exit zarpe from your last port will be asked for.
Boats entering Guatemala from abroad will be given a three-month cruising permit. See Customs below for more information about length of stay.
CLEARING OUT
A zarpe (clearance) must be obtained from Immigration and the Port Captain must sign it. Passports must also have exit stamps from Immigration.
1. Harbour Master, where you will be given a zarpe (clearance - 2 copies) for your next destination. You will need to state the country and port of entry of your new destination and the Port Captain must sign both copies.
2. Immigration, where you will have to pay a small departure fee and hand over a signed copy of one of the two zarpe.
Details of Fees can be found below.
