India to Guyana visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Guyana. Apply in advance at the High Commission of Guyana in New Delhi; only diplomatic and service passports are visa-exempt. As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Indian passport require a visa to enter Guyana for tourism. Guyana's visa policy exempts only Indian diplomatic and service passport holders, so ordinary tourists must obtain a visa before travel. The visa is a sticker visa issued by the High Commission of Guyana in New Delhi. There is no general visa-free entry, no eVisa portal, and no standard visa-on-arrival channel for Indian tourists (visa on arrival exists only with a prior approval letter from Guyana's Ministry of Home Affairs). A single-entry tourist visa is typically valid for 90 days from issue and permits a stay of up to 30 days. Applications generally take about 10-15 working days, so applying 3-4 weeks ahead is advised. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is commonly required. Several online articles claim 90-day visa-free entry for Indians; this conflicts with the official visa policy and authoritative sources, so the conservative and correct position is visa-required.
