Business, work or just passing through?

The rules above are for a holiday: tourism and visiting family and friends. Business visits, paid work and transit are covered separately below.

Business visits to Guyana

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Filipino passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see minfor.gov.gy.

Common tourist traps

  1. 'Free ticket' drug-mule scam

    How it works: Scammers offer travellers in South America free air tickets to Guyana. On arrival, the 'sponsors' only let them leave if they carry a 'package', usually cocaine.

    How to avoid it: Never accept free travel or carry packages for anyone.
