Ordinary passport holders need a visa/electronic approval before travel for short tourist or business visits; the permitted stay is as granted by the visa or immigration officer.
Mainland Chinese ordinary passports are not listed as visa-free by Guyana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Guyana lists only Chinese diplomatic/service passports as visa-exempt. Apply through Guyana's Immigration Support Services portal for a visitor/business visa or obtain a visa-on-arrival approval letter before travel; passengers without the approval letter may not board. Passport validity of at least 6 months is generally required.
