| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Guyana e-VisaYou must get this visa online before you fly — there is no visa-on-arrival for Tunisian citizens. Apply before travel | Tunisian passport holders must obtain an e-Visa before arriving in Guyana. Apply online at the official Guyana eVisa portal (https://www.evisa.gov.gy/), and carry the approved eVisa (printed or digital) for presentation to immigration upon arrival. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before your trip. At least 6 months | Your Tunisian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Guyana. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesMake sure there's an empty page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank visa/stamp page for the Guyana entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight booking ready to show that you plan to leave Guyana. Proof of departure | Immigration officials may require proof of a return or onward flight out of Guyana before granting entry. | Required |
| Proof of fundsCarry documents that show you can pay for your expenses while in Guyana. Sufficient for stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Guyana (e.g., bank statements, cash, or credit cards). | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra online arrival form before you travel. Not required | Guyana does not require a separate arrival declaration form for Tunisian passport holders at this time. | Not required |
