Travelling from Afghanistan to Guatemala [duplicate]

Travelling from Afghanistan to Guatemala [duplicate] - Lake Atitlán

I have been invited to an official training in Guatemala, so now I plan to go to Guatemala from Afghanistan and I will use the Morroco and Madrid airport as transit countries. So, please let me know whether I need Schengen Transit Visa or not?



Best Answer

Afghan citizens need a visa to enter Guatemala.

Per Timatic, https://www.timaticweb2.com transiting Morocco without a visa is possible for:

  • Passengers transiting through Casablanca (CMN) with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country within 24 hours. They must stay in the international transit area of the airport and have documents required for the next destination.

  • Passengers with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country on the same calendar day. They must stay in the international transit area of the airport and have documents required for the next destination.

Transiting Spain without a visa is possible for:

  • Nationals of Afghanistan transiting through Barcelona (BCN) or Madrid (MAD) and arriving from a non-Schengen Member State with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country which is not a Schengen Member State.

    They must:

    • have a visa issued by Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Republic of Ireland, Japan, Romania, USA or United Kingdom, and
    • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and
    • have documents required for the next destination.
  • Otherwise, see: Do I need a visa to transit (or layover) in the Schengen area?
