Work Visas Guyana

Immigration services only offer one type of permit for employment in Guyana. The standard work permit covers any non-national wishing to work for a company in the country, and it lasts for three years.

Work permit holders can renew their visas as many times as they’d like, but they will have to pay a fee each time. Guyana also offers a business visa. While this visa doesn’t allow a person to be employed within the country, it does allow for various other business matters.

This documentation is useful for people planning to invest in companies in the area. It would also be a valid visa for establishing a subsidiary.
