Visa required — apply early
There is no visa on arrival for Mongolian passport holders. You must get a visa from a Guyanese embassy before you fly. Processing can take weeks, so start the process at least a month in advance.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Guyana, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.

Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around $50–$100 USD, but confirm with the embassy where you apply. Fees are usually non-refundable.
Extensions are not available for visa holders. You must leave before your visa expires. If you need a longer stay, apply for a longer-duration visa before traveling.
