Visa required — apply early
There is no visa on arrival for Mongolian passport holders. You must get an e-visa 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 e-visa.
What happens at the border

Apply for your e-visa

Book your travel and accommodation
