Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit GY?

Q: How long can a Finnish tourist stay in Guyana?

Up to 90 days visa-free. If you need longer, request an extension from Guyana's immigration authorities before your stay expires.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Guyana.

Q: Is there a fee to enter Guyana as a Finnish tourist?

No. Because you enter visa-free, there is no visa fee. The USD 25 visa-on-arrival fee applies only to nationalities that require a visa.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply to Guyana?

No. Guyana is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen short-stay rule and ETIAS are irrelevant to entering Guyana.

Q: What should I show at immigration on arrival?

A passport valid 6+ months, a return or onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds and accommodation. A yellow fever certificate may be needed if you arrive from an endemic country.

Finnish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Guyana. They may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days. Finland is on Guyana's list of visa-exempt countries. Holders of an ordinary Finnish passport can travel to Guyana for tourism without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. No prior application, eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival is required for this nationality. At the port of entry travelers should present a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds and accommodation. Guyana is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entry into Guyana. There have been no changes removing Finland's visa-free access as of mid-2026.
