Guatemala.

The Migration Code (Decreto 44-2016, art. 75(d)) gives foreigners who invest in Guatemala temporary residence for up to five years. The IGM's Reglamento de Residencias Guatemaltecas (Acuerdo IGM-016-2025 of 21 May 2025, approved by the National Migration Authority as AMN-05-2025) requires proof that the applicant is part of one or more commercial entities and/or invests in movable or immovable property for an amount of USD 100,000 ('cien mil dólares'), with a sworn notarial declaration of the activity and planned stay; dependants follow the rules for migrant workers. Temporary residence is granted for one to five years and can be extended; after five years of temporary residence the investor can apply for permanent residence (art. 27). The 2025 regulation repeals Acuerdo IGM-092-2022, which was not read, so whether the USD 100,000 amount is new is unknown and launched is empty; legal_basis is the year of the Migration Code (in force sixty days after its Diario Oficial publication, date not printed in the stored copy). The earlier Ley de Migración (Decreto 95-98) investor category was not researched. Note the route does not require running a business: buying property for USD 100,000 qualifies. No counts of investor residences found (the IGM statistics page was not checked for a residence breakdown). Status left empty.
