Guyana Visa

About Guyana

Guyana needs a visa to travel to all Indian citizens. Applications must be submitted prior to leaving India because regular passport holders would not have a visa-free or on-arrival visa (there can be exemptions to diplomatic/official passports, and some special cases). The most widespread types of visas include Tourist Visa, Business Visa, Family Visit Visa, Transit Visa and Student Visa. Applications are to be made at the Guyana High Commission in New Delhi preferably 3-4 weeks before you intend to travel.
