Answer

We recommend you complete the form while you are in the US to ensure you have stable connectivity and Wi-Fi to fill out the form online since service and Wi-Fi connectivity can be spotty in the Guatemala City airport. We recommend you complete this form either the day before your departure or on the day of travel while you are waiting at your gate for the flight.
