Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Guyana. Airlines at departure may check this, so carry a copy of your passport data page as backup. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Guyana | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Guyana. Officers may ask for it if your stated purpose is tourism or visiting friends. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or cash showing you can support yourself during the 30-day visit. There is no fixed minimum, but around $500 USD equivalent is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months left, you won't be allowed to board. Double-check your passport's expiry date before booking.
No visa needed, but have proof of onward travel
Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. A screenshot on your phone is acceptable, but a printed copy is even safer.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Guyana before the 30 days are up and re-enter, or apply for a visa in advance at a Guyanese embassy.
Guyana requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Indonesia is not on that list, so you likely won't need it. But if you've recently traveled to an affected country, bring your certificate.
You will be denied boarding by the airline and refused entry by Guyanese immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
Yes, the same visa-free rule applies at land border crossings. You'll still need a passport valid for 6 months and a return ticket. The process is similar to airport entry.
No, there is no online arrival declaration required for Guyana. You'll fill out a paper landing card on the plane or at immigration.
The local currency is the Guyanese dollar (GYD). US dollars are widely accepted in hotels and larger businesses, but you'll get better rates using local currency. ATMs are available in Georgetown.
Guyana is generally safe for tourists, but like anywhere, take standard precautions: avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, keep valuables out of sight, and use registered taxis.
