Hong Kong (SAR China) to Guyana visa requirements

HKSAR ordinary passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival in Guyana for short tourist visits. Carry a passport valid at least 6 months, proof of onward travel, and proof of funds. A Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holder traveling to Guyana for tourism can obtain a visa on arrival at the port of entry. The Hong Kong Immigration Department, the authoritative origin source, explicitly states that "HKSAR passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival to the Republic of Guyana." Note that some secondary sources (e.g. Wikipedia) classify Hong Kong in a 90-day visa-exemption category, but because this conflicts with the official HK government guidance, the conservative and verified position is to treat Guyana as a visa-on-arrival destination. The visa on arrival typically permits a stay of up to one month for tourism, extendable through the Guyana immigration authorities if needed. Travelers must hold a passport with at least six months' validity and at least two blank pages, and should be prepared to present a return or onward ticket, accommodation details, and evidence of sufficient funds. For the most current document and fee requirements, the Guyana Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation should be consulted before departure.
