1.Application forms must be completed and made on the prearranged forms at the consulate offices or Guyana missions who are allowed to issue visas.

2.Applicants who are citizens of other states or countries where there are no consulate offices or Guyana missions must direct their journey so as to uplift a visa at a suitable point en route to Guyana.
