Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Processing times depend on the visa type and how the application is lodged. For a visa on arrival, the Ministry of Home Affairs approval letter is quoted by Guyana missions as taking roughly 10 to 14 working days, so travellers should apply well before departure.

Online applications through ISS eServices are acknowledged with a reference number that lets applicants track progress. Total decision times for visitor, employment, business and student visas are not published as fixed figures, so allow ample time and confirm expected timeframes with ISS or the Ministry.
