A temporary residency running beyond 5 years requires a move to permanent residency (art. 78 of the Migration Code). Payments are made only in quetzales at the day's exchange rate, at the bank branches located inside the IGM. Service is at the Subdirectorate of Immigration Affairs, 6a Avenida 3-11, Zona 4, Guatemala City; telephone 2411-2411; Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 15:00.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
