Brunei passport holders need a visa to enter Guyana. You must apply in advance through a Guyanese embassy or consulate — there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option as of 2026. Processing can take several weeks, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Guyana e-VisaYou need to get this visa approved before you fly — you cannot get it at the airport. Apply before travel | Brunei passport holders must obtain an e-Visa prior to arrival in Guyana. The application is submitted online, and the visa must be approved before departure. There is no visa on arrival for this nationality. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before you travel. At least 6 months | Your Brunei passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Guyana. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need a clean, empty page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Ensure no pages are damaged or missing. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's safer to have a ticket out of Guyana ready in case they ask at the border. May be requested | Although not explicitly required by the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket to verify your intention to leave Guyana. Carry a printed copy or have it accessible on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHave some proof that you can support yourself during your visit, just in case. May be requested | While not a fixed requirement in the database, be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, such as bank statements or credit cards, if asked by immigration. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra online form before you arrive. Not required | Guyana does not require an arrival declaration form for Brunei passport holders. | Not required |
Visa required — apply early
There is no visa on arrival or e-visa for Brunei passport holders. You must get a visa from a Guyanese embassy before you travel. Start the process at least 6 weeks ahead.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Guyana, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa
Contact the Guyanese embassy or consulate nearest to you. Submit the visa application form, your passport, passport-sized photos, and supporting documents (like flight itinerary and hotel booking). Pay the visa fee. Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, sometimes longer.
2
Pack your documents
Before you leave, print or save digital copies of your visa approval, passport info page, return ticket, and accommodation booking. Keep them in a separate bag from your passport.
3
Arrive at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO)
After landing, follow signs to immigration. Join the queue for foreign passports. Have your passport, visa, and return ticket ready. The officer will check your documents, stamp your passport, and you are in.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. There is usually no customs declaration form for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
