Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Guyana e-VisaYou need to apply and get approval for an e-Visa before you travel to Guyana. Apply online before travel | Slovenian citizens must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival. Apply at the official Guyana e-Visa portal: https://www.evisa.gov.gy/. Processing time and fee are set by the Guyana authorities; check the portal for current details. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire within 6 months of your arrival date. At least 6 months from entry | Your Slovenian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Guyana. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need a blank 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 stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a ticket showing you plan to leave Guyana, as it may be requested. May be requested | Although not explicitly required, immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel. Carry a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHaving bank statements or cash on hand can help show you can support yourself during your visit. May be requested | While not explicitly required, be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay if asked by immigration. | Recommended |

Apply only through the official portal
Use evisa.gov.gy to apply. Third-party sites may charge extra fees and aren't official. Always check you're on the government website before entering personal details or payment information.
Passport validity matters
Guyana requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. If your passport is expiring soon, renew it before applying for the eVisa — otherwise your application could be rejected or you could be denied entry.
What happens at the border
1
Apply online before you book flights
Go to evisa.gov.gy and create an account. Fill in the application with your personal details, passport information, and travel plans. Upload your photo and passport scan. Pay the fee online — the portal accepts major credit cards. Processing usually takes a few business days, so don't leave it to the last minute.
2
Wait for approval and print it
Once approved, you'll get an email with your eVisa. Print at least two copies — one for your travel folder and one for your carry-on. Check that all details (name, passport number, dates) match your passport exactly. If anything is wrong, contact the eVisa support before you fly.
3
Check in at the airport with your documents
At check-in, the airline will ask for your passport and may ask to see your eVisa approval. Have both ready. They'll verify you have the visa before issuing a boarding pass.
4
Clear immigration at Cheddi Jagan International Airport
On arrival in Georgetown, join the immigration queue and present your passport and printed eVisa. The officer will stamp you in. Keep your eVisa copy with you until you leave the airport — you might need it if asked.

Frequently asked questions
Most applications are processed within a few business days, but times can vary. Apply at least one to two weeks before your planned departure to be safe. The portal will give you an estimated processing time when you apply.
The fee is listed on the official eVisa portal at the time of application. You'll pay online by credit or debit card. Fees are set by the Guyanese government and can change, so check the portal for the current amount.
The eVisa is issued for a specific period, and extensions are not typically available. If you need to stay longer, you should contact the nearest Guyanese embassy or consulate before you travel to discuss your options.
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you're arriving from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. Slovenia is not on that list, so you generally won't need one for direct travel. However, if you're coming via a country with risk, check with the Guyanese embassy or your airline.
If your application is denied, you'll be notified by email. You can usually reapply if you can correct the issue, or you may need to apply for a visa at a Guyanese embassy or consulate. Contact the eVisa support for guidance on next steps.
The eVisa is generally valid for entry at Guyana's official ports of entry, including Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Georgetown. If you plan to arrive by land or sea, check with the nearest Guyanese embassy to confirm entry procedures.
Proof of funds and travel insurance are not routinely required for Slovenian citizens on short visits, but immigration officers can ask for evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. It's wise to carry a bank statement or credit card and have travel insurance for peace of mind.
