REGISTRATION OF SKILLED GUYANESE NATIONALS 

The Guyana High Commission has embarked on an exercise to update its register of skilled Guyanese professionals and businessmen, resident in the United Kingdom. 

The main reasons for this exercise are twofold:

(b)    The High Commission would like to update its list of the  various skills with the objective of strengthening relations between professionals in Guyana and the  United Kingdom, which may result in mutually beneficial relationships.Kindly  register by completing the form below and return it to:
