Guyana Entry/Exit General Information

U.S. citizen travelers will need a valid U.S. passport to enter and depart Guyana. Upon arrival, Guyanese immigration generally grants U.S. visitors a stay of thirty days. Passports must have at least six months of remaining validity. Travelers planning to stay longer than thirty days must may request an extension of stay from the Ministry of Home Affairs at 60 Brickdam Street in Georgetown. The Central Office of Immigration on Camp Street in Georgetown must also note the extension in traveler’s passport.  If the purpose of your trip is not solely tourism, you should contact either the Ministry of Home Affairs or the Guyana Embassy in Washington, DC for information about requirements for work permits and extended stays. If you are a U.S.-Guyanese dual national departing Guyana for the United States using a Guyanese passport, you must present to Guyanese authorities a U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization, or other document establishing that you may legally enter the United States. U.S. citizens with dual nationality are not eligible for U.S. visas and must use their U.S. passports to enter and depart the United States.
