Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit GY?
Canadian passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Guyana. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days. Carry a passport valid at least six months, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. A Canadian (ordinary passport) traveller can enter Guyana visa-free for tourism and short visits for up to 90 days. Canada is on Guyana's official list of visa-exempt countries published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Government of Canada travel advisory confirms no visa is required for stays up to 90 days. No advance application, eVisa, eTA, or visa-on-arrival is needed for tourism. At the port of entry, immigration officers issue a stamp granting the permitted stay; travellers should ensure their passport is physically stamped, as failure to obtain a stamp can cause serious problems on departure. Visitors should hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended departure date, with at least one blank page, plus a return or onward ticket and proof of adequate funds. The visa-free channel is for tourism and short visits only; work, study, or long-term stays require the appropriate visa or permit obtained in advance or through the Guyana Immigration authorities. Extensions beyond 90 days are handled in-country by the Central Immigration and Passport Office; overstaying without authorization should be avoided. There were no 2024-2026 policy changes affecting Canadian visa-free access to Guyana.
