What happens at the border

Prepare your documents
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, return flight booking, hotel confirmation, and any other documents the embassy requests. Make copies of everything.

Submit the application
Submit your application in person or by mail to the embassy. Pay the visa fee (check current amount with the embassy). Processing can take 5–15 business days, so apply well before your trip.

Wait for approval
Once approved, you'll receive a visa sticker in your passport. Check that all details (name, passport number, validity dates) are correct before you travel.

Arrive at Cheddi Jagan International Airport
At immigration, present your passport with the visa, return ticket, and hotel booking. The officer may ask about your trip purpose and length of stay. Answer clearly and honestly.
