Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Guyana e-VisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly – it's not available on arrival. Apply online before travel | Kazakhstani passport holders must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival. Apply through the official Guyana e-Visa portal at https://www.evisa.gov.gy/. The visa is valid for tourism or business purposes; check the portal for current fees and processing times. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire too soon – it needs to be valid for half a year after you leave. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Guyana. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a flight out of Guyana booked – they might ask to see it. May be requested | Immigration officials may ask to see proof of a return or onward ticket. Ensure you have a confirmed booking showing departure from Guyana. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHave some evidence you can support yourself during your visit – like bank statements or cash. May be requested | You may be asked to show sufficient funds to cover your stay in Guyana. Carry bank statements or cash in a major currency (e.g., USD) to demonstrate financial means. | Recommended |
| Visa application documentsGather these documents before you start the online application.

Check the e-Visa portal for the exact list. | Required |
Visa required — apply well in advance
