Visa on arrival is limited to specific circumstances
Guyana's Ministry says a traveler who requires a visa and may be unable to apply at any Guyana mission or consulate can use the visa-on-arrival process if its conditions are met. This is not automatic. The Ministry lists two photos; inviter or sponsor name, address and contact details; an invitation letter; a tourist's hotel address or intended place of stay; and proof of funds for 30 days. Check with Immigration Support Services before relying on this option. The published initial period is one month, with at most two one-month extensions, subject to approval.
