What are the requirements for migrant-worker residency with a Guatemalan or a foreign employer?

With a Guatemalan employer, the IGM asks for an offer letter and for the employer to be registered as guarantor. With a foreign employer (remote work), it asks for income from abroad of at least US$2,000 a month (US$3,000 with dependants) and international health insurance. In both cases the cost is US$200 for 1 year, US$300 for 2 years or US$500 for 3–5 years, plus the US$25 application fee. The work permit from the Ministry of Labor "is a separate and mandatory procedure" for migrant workers.
