52 Places Guyanese Can Visit Without A Visa

Kaieteur Falls, Guyana

Getting a travel visa can be difficult for some, especially to places like the United States and Canada. In many cases, most applicants are denied because they are unable to clearly establish “strong ties” with their home country. This might be quite common especially among younger people who are just starting out in life and do not have much to their name.

Getting European visas may not be as hard, but it can still prove challenging for some. So does this mean taking a vacation is out of the question? Not so fast. The Guyanese passport allows citizens and residents access to a number of countries within the Caribbean and Central America, South America, and even parts of Asia without the need for a visa. Beyond that, some countries allow visas on entry (which are almost always guaranteed) and online visa applications (which are very easy to get).

Assuming that you not eligible for a visa or choose not to apply for one, most connecting travel would have to be done via countries such a Trinidad, Panama and Brazil, and you may have to determine whether it makes more sense to fly out of Cheddi Jagan or Ogle. With that said, let’s take a look at visa free countries along with those that require visa on entry, online visa applications and electronic travel authorizations.
