3. Under normal conditions, application for visas should be submitted at least one (1) week in advance of proposed date of travel.

7. Pre-paid arrangements must be made by the applicant if passport is to be returned by a courier service. The account number must be given.

GUYANESE CITIZENS

A Guyanese citizen travelling on a foreign passport does not require a visa if the passport clearly indicates the place of birth to be 'Guyana' or a well-recognised place in Guyana such as Georgetown, Demerara, Essequibo, Berbice or Corentyne. If this is not the case, documentary proof of birth in Guyana must be presented to the Immigration authorities in Guyana, such proof being a birth certificate (both birth and marriage certificates in the case of a married woman) or an expired Guyana passport.

A child born abroad of a Guyanese parent and presenting as documentary evidence a birth certificate (full version giving names of parents) and the birth certificate or Guyana passport of the Guyanese parent, does not require a visa. It will be necessary, however, to have some documentary evidence for the Immigration authority upon arrival in Guyana.
