Where you can go as a visitor if your passport is from Guyana

One question, every country, with your nationality already applied. In 5 of them something is written that changes the answer for you; in the other 27 the general rule is what you get, and that is the answer rather than a gap. Every line is that country’s own record.

Entry from Guyana: six months as an entitlement, not a permission

written for your nationality by name

The general rule it sits on

Six months, and it is the statute that says so rather than an officer. The Immigration and Passport Act 2014 defines a bona fide visitor as a person arriving for a period of not more than six months, and section 24 requires the visitor to hold an onward ticket, to take no gainful occupation, to behave and to be able to maintain themselves and their dependants throughout. Beyond that the Act splits travellers into classes: a citizen of any member state of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States gets six months as of right, a citizen of an OECS Protocol state enters with no limit on time at all, a national of a CARICOM member state named in Schedule 1 gets six months, and an EU service provider gets a period that depends on what kind of service provider they are. An extension is a separate application to the Chief Immigration Officer, and since 2023 a visitor who intends to stay on for work, study, marriage or retirement must formally change status instead.

Tourist Entry for Mercosur Associated States - 90 Days on Paper, 180 in the Statute

reaches you through Mercosur Associated States

The general rule it sits on

A tourist is admitted for up to 90 days and can extend once by up to 180 further days, and South Americans start at 180 days with another 180 available - numbers that were rewritten on 14 July 2025 by a protected-areas law that also amended the migration statute. Most of the ministry's own pages still quote the old rule of 90 days within a year extendable by 90, so the published guidance and the statute disagree, and the statute is the one that governs. Most Western nationalities need no visa; a published ministry list names the nationalities that do.

Arriving on a Caribbean Community skills certificate

reaches you through CARICOM skills certificate

The general rule it sits on

Jamaica runs two entry statutes side by side, and which one you meet depends on whether your country is in the Commonwealth. A Commonwealth citizen is dealt with under the Immigration Restriction (Commonwealth Citizens) Act, which lets an immigration officer grant leave for up to twelve months and caps extensions at twelve months from the date of entry. Everyone else is an alien under the Aliens Act, which sets conditions for being let in at all - support for yourself, a work permit if you mean to work, a visa unless there is a mutual abolition agreement - and then leaves the length of stay entirely to whatever conditions the officer attaches. There is no six-month ceiling for aliens in the Aliens Act. The Agency publishes one anyway: it tells travellers that non-Commonwealth citizens get a maximum of six months, and that figure has no counterpart in the statute, where the twelve-month Commonwealth figure does. Whether you need a visa is answered by a full country-by-country table, dated entry by entry, which is more than most of the region publishes. One entry on it is worth reading twice: Haiti is a member of the Caribbean Community and its ordinary passport holders need a Jamaican visa.

CARICOM nationals: no entry fee, no authorisation for short stay, and six months at the border that no instrument provides

reaches you through CARICOM skills certificate

From Guyana: one land crossing, named on a ministry page and in no regulation

written for your nationality by name

The general rule it sits on

The Vreemdelingenwet 1991 gives a visitor who needs no visa three months, and everyone else eight days unless a visa says otherwise. The Vreemdelingenbesluit 1995 then requires a valid passport carrying a transit visa, a travel visa for a stay of up to three months, or an authorisation for short stay for anything longer. The Act itself names no country: who needs a visa is a ministerial matter, and since 1 July 2022 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has published a unilateral waiver for tourism and family visits up to ninety days, with a named list of twenty-one countries it does not apply to. The waiver is not free. Every traveller it covers pays an entry fee of USD 50 or EUR 50, plus a USD 8 or EUR 8 service fee to the contractor that collects it, and pays it again on every entry. Holders of a CARICOM passport are among the ten groups exempt from the fee.

CARICOM nationals: no visa, and six months as a visitor

reaches you through CARICOM skills certificate

The general rule it sits on

Trinidad and Tobago answers the visa question by rule rather than by list. Regulation 13(5) of the Immigration Regulations requires a visa in the passport of everyone seeking to enter; regulation 13(8) then takes the requirement away from citizens of Commonwealth countries, from nationals of countries with which Trinidad and Tobago has concluded Visa Abolition Agreements, and from two classes of transit passenger. Regulation 13(11) puts it back for the countries in the Second Schedule, and that Schedule names four: Cuba, Macedonia, North Korea and Vietnam. There is no statutory period of stay for a visitor. Section 9(1) of the Immigration Act lets an immigration officer admit tourists or visitors on such conditions and for such periods as may be fit and proper in the particular case, and the certificate the officer issues carries whatever period he wrote on it. Extending it means submitting to a fresh examination even though you are already in the country. A stay longer than one year requires a medical certificate on Form 40 before entry. Visas are now bought online: the Immigration Division charges TT$800 for a multiple-entry visa, which is the figure the Seventh Schedule to the Regulations has prescribed since 1 January 2026.
