Guiana: o que saber antes da viagem
O essencial
- Complete the official online immigration/customs form before entry and exit. It is free; avoid sites charging to submit it.
- Carry GYD cash for interior travel; card acceptance and ATMs are concentrated in larger towns.
- Use official border crossings and check security advice near Venezuela and Suriname.
Entrada e vistos
Check nationality-specific visa eligibility with Guyanese Immigration. Visitor visas and extensions are handled through the official Immigration Support Services platform. The separate electronic entry/exit form is required before travel. Carry a valid passport, onward arrangements and any visa or yellow-fever evidence required for your route.
