CARICOM Heads of Government welcomed Guyana's implementation of the decision that CARICOM nationals travelling to other Member States be granted a definite entry of six months. Guyana's Foreign Ministry lists the countries whose nationals do not require visas to enter Guyana, some only for diplomatic or official passports and some for 90 or 30 days; for passport holders who require a visa and may be unable to apply at a Guyanese mission, its advisory says visas will be issued on arrival. Guyana's Immigration (Passports) Order says that, except as otherwise provided in the order, the passport of a citizen of any foreign country is not accepted unless it bears a Guyanese consular visa; it exempts passports of the countries in its schedule, passports of Commonwealth countries whose law lets Guyanese enter on their passports without a visa, passports the Minister exempts and passports covered by a Visa Abolition Agreement in force.
