Do Guyanese citizens need a visa for the United States?
Guyana is not one of the 42 countries in the US Visa Waiver Program (Department of Homeland Security), so Guyanese citizens normally need a US visa before travelling to the United States, also for short visits; visas are issued by US embassies and consulates abroad, not by the Guyanese embassy in the United States.
