Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a visa. There is no visa-on-arrival for Croatian citizens. You must apply online at https://www.evisa.gov.gy/ and receive approval before your trip.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but it can vary. Apply at least a month in advance to avoid delays. The e-visa portal is the official channel.
Extensions are not available for this visa type. You must leave before your authorized stay expires. If you overstay, you'll be fined $5 USD per day (max $100 USD).
You'll need your passport (valid 6+ months), visa approval, return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation. Travel insurance is recommended but not always required.
It is not always mandatory, but strongly recommended. Medical costs can be high, and insurance covers emergencies. Healthcare is limited outside Georgetown, so medical evacuation coverage is wise.
The currency is the Guyanese dollar (GYD). Credit cards are accepted in major hotels and some restaurants, but cash is preferred in smaller establishments. ATMs are available in Georgetown.
Yellow fever vaccination is required if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Check with your doctor for other recommended vaccines like typhoid and hepatitis A. Malaria is present in interior regions, so prophylaxis is recommended.
