Documentary Requirements Expanded To Oil And Gas Industry Applicants

At a Glance

• The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guyana has expanded the requirement for foreign nationals to submit a copy of their employment agreement with the sponsoring entity when applying for initial and renewed visas-on-arrival, permits to land and work permits to applicants in the oil and gas industry, effective immediately.
• Furthermore, oil and gas industry applicants who will not be directly employed by an entity in Guyana can still provide a copy of their home employment contract; however, they must now ensure that their sponsor letter specifies the qualifying relationship between the entity in Guyana and the entity abroad.
• Previously, applicants in the oil and gas industry were exempt from these documentary requirements.
