Guide last updated September 9, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of your stay (6 months validity is recommended for onward travel connections)
  • No visa or advance entry form required for tourist stays
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host's address)
  • Proof of sufficient funds if requested by an immigration officer
  • No biometrics required for standard tourist entry
  • Travel health insurance is not mandatory but recommended; proof of yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission

Visa types

  • Tourist/visitor entry stamp: free, granted on arrival for up to 90 days (officers sometimes grant less at their discretion, e.g. 30 days, extendable)
  • No paid work permitted under the visitor stamp
  • Business visits of similar short duration use the same entry stamp
  • Long-term stays or employment require a separate visa/work permit applied for through the Guyanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs before travel

Entry conditions

  • Up to 90 days per visit (the exact number is decided by the immigration officer and stamped in your passport - always check the stamped date)
  • No paid employment permitted while on the visitor stamp
  • You may be asked to show your return ticket and accommodation proof at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO)
  • Extensions can be requested at the Guyana Citizenship and Immigration Authority in Georgetown before the stamped period expires
  • Overstaying can lead to fines and complications on future entries

Fees & processing time

  • No fee for the visa-free entry stamp
  • Extension of stay through the Citizenship and Immigration Authority: modest fee, typically under USD 30-50 equivalent in Guyanese dollars
  • No advance processing time - entry is granted immediately at the port of entry
  • Extension requests are usually processed within a few working days in Georgetown

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Note the exact number of days stamped in your passport on arrival, since officers can grant fewer than the maximum 90 days
  • Carry printed proof of your return flight and accommodation, especially if entering with a one-way ticket
  • Confirm your yellow fever vaccination status before travel if you are transiting through a country where it's required, since Guyana checks this on entry from at-risk regions
  • This stay does not count against your Schengen 90/180-day allowance
  • Most flights from Germany route through the Caribbean or the US, so check any applicable US transit visa rules separately
