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. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Guyanese law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Guyana | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements, a credit card, or cash (US dollars are widely accepted) to demonstrate you can cover your stay. No fixed minimum is published, but around $50 USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Guyana immigration checks that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter. If it's close to expiring, renew before you go.
No visa fee at the airport
Entry is free for Luxembourg passport holders. You don't need to pay anything at immigration.

Extensions are not available under the visa-free policy. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter, or apply for a visa before travel.
You will likely be denied entry. Guyana requires at least 6 months of passport validity from your entry date. Renew your passport before traveling.
Yes. Immigration wants proof you'll leave Guyana within the allowed stay. A bus or boat ticket out of the country works — just have it ready to show.
No, it's not required by law. But medical costs in Guyana can be high, and insurance covers emergencies. It's strongly recommended.
Overstaying can result in fines, detention, or a ban from re-entering. Always check your entry stamp date and leave before it expires.
