Entry requirements

| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, renew it before you travel. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Guyana. Ensure your passport meets this requirement before applying for a visa. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesImmigration officers need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. It is advisable to have more than one blank page to avoid issues at immigration. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketA ticket leaving Guyana is required to prove you will not overstay. Proof of departure | You must show a confirmed return or onward ticket to a destination outside Guyana. This is typically checked at check-in and upon arrival. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsCarry bank statements or cash to demonstrate you can support yourself. For your stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay in Guyana. The amount is not fixed but should be enough for accommodation, food, and other costs. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out an online arrival form before landing. Not required | Guyana does not require an arrival declaration for Cambodian passport holders. No separate form is needed beyond standard immigration procedures. | Not required |
| eVisa applicationThe eVisa is only for certain nationalities; Cambodians must use the traditional visa route.

Do not attempt to apply online; instead, apply for a visa through the embassy or consulate. | Not required |
Apply early — don't wait
The e-Visa can take up to a week or more to process. If you apply too close to your departure date, you risk missing your flight. Start the application as soon as you have your travel dates.
No visa on arrival for Cambodian passport holders
Guyana does not offer visa-on-arrival for Cambodian citizens. You must have the approved e-Visa before you board your flight. Airlines will check this before letting you check in.

Transiting through Guyana
Transit visa required
Cambodian passport holders transiting through Guyana require a visa unless they are staying airside and not passing through immigration. However, Guyana does not have a formal airside transit facility at its main airports, so most passengers must clear immigration and therefore need a visa.
Exceptions & conditions
- Diplomatic or official passport holders may be exempt under bilateral agreements.
- Passengers with a confirmed onward ticket and who remain in the international transit area may be exempt, but this is not guaranteed due to airport layout.

Processing usually takes about 3-5 business days, but it can take longer during peak times. Apply at least two weeks before your planned travel to be safe.
The fee is set by the Guyana Immigration Service and is payable online. Check the official e-Visa portal for the current amount — it's typically around $50 USD, but it can change.
No, the e-Visa is not extendable. You must leave before the expiry date printed on your visa. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to leave and re-enter with a new visa.
If your application is denied, you'll receive a notification. You can reapply, but first check the reason for rejection — often it's a missing document or a photo that doesn't meet specs. You can also contact the Guyana Immigration Service directly for help.
Guyana requires a yellow fever certificate if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Cambodia isn't on that list, but if you're traveling through a risk country, you'll need the certificate. Check with your airline or the Guyanese embassy if unsure.
It's risky. Immigration officers expect a printed copy. If you can't print it, you might be turned away. Always carry a physical copy.
The e-Visa typically allows a stay of up to 30 days. Check the exact dates on your approval notice — don't overstay, as penalties can be severe.
