Tips for China travelers

  • Apply at least 2 weeks before travel to allow for processing and possible requests for extra documents
  • Business travelers should carry a formal invitation letter from the Guyanese host company, as the mining and oil sectors generate frequent business travel scrutiny

  • Confirm current yellow fever certificate requirements based on your travel routing before departure
