The IGM publishes four further routes to permanent residency: marriage or common-law union with a Guatemalan of at least 1 year's standing (RENAP certificates; US$700); family tie to a Guatemalan (RENAP kinship certificates; US$700); people born in Central America with at least 1 year of temporary residency (apostilled birth certificate plus the temporary residency resolution; US$500); and 5 years as a temporary resident (certification of the 5 years plus a notarial record and a guarantor; US$700, or US$500 for Central Americans). The fees are one-off and come on top of the US$25 application fee.
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.
