Thailand to Guyana visa requirements

Thailand ordinary passport holders need a visa for Guyana. Thailand is NOT on Guyana's visa-exempt list, so Thai tourists must obtain an approval/visa online through Guyana's official ISS eServices portal (eservices.iss.gov.gy) before departure. The approval letter must be presented to board the flight; the visa is endorsed in the passport and the fee is paid on arrival (approximately US$25, or US$35 expedited). It is normally valid for a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days. As of mid-2026, Guyana grants visa-free entry to roughly 76-88 nationalities (including most EU/Schengen states, the UK, US, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Russia, Qatar, UAE, and several Asian states such as Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea), but Thailand is NOT among them. A Thai ordinary passport holder therefore requires a visa for any short tourist visit. Guyana's Immigration Support Services (ISS), under the Ministry of Home Affairs, operates an online eServices portal (eservices.iss.gov.gy) where travelers submit a Visitor Visa application together with the passport bio-data page, a passport photo, a letter requesting visa-on-arrival, and supporting documents. Once approved, an approval letter (effectively an eVisa) is issued; this letter MUST be carried because airlines will not allow boarding without it. On arrival in Guyana the visa is physically endorsed in the passport and the fee is collected. The standard fee is about US$25 (around US$35 for expedited handling), the visa is typically single-entry, and the permitted stay is up to 30 days, extendable locally. Official guidance cites a processing window of about 10-14 working days, so applications should be lodged well in advance. Guyana is located on the northern coast of South America and is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. Travelers should also hold a passport valid at least six months beyond entry, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds and accommodation. Because details such as fees and processing can change, verify directly with the ISS eServices portal or the nearest Guyanese diplomatic mission before booking.
