Advice for tourist visa and possible residency

7 years ago
Buena mañana comunidad,

I am considering how to get a tourist visa maybe residency visa to Guatemala from Serbia ( Yugoslavia). One of the problems is we have no embassy here for Guatemala for me to consult. I want to potentially live there for the weather, beautiful views, to better my health and a healthier pace of life.
I can work remotely and would consider starting a business if the opportunity was there. I am a computer programmer, system administrator and generally good at construction. I am educated and speak fluent English learning Spanish.
So here goes the documents I have a Biometric passport. I have heard I will need a lot more documents ie letter of invitation, a guarantor, money for my stay, everything notarized, translated and that notarized lol. I know a local police report is required but I don't have a way to do that myself in my country ( they don't do that for citizens). Advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
