What it means in practice
30 days is about a month. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 30 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.
For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.
How Guyana counts your stay: The permitted stay is stamped on arrival, normally 30 days for visa-exempt visitors.

How to avoid overstaying
- Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
- Plan to leave a day or two early. With 30 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
- Extend before you run out. Apply to Guyana's Immigration Support Services for one-month extensions before your stay expires (USD 25 each for visa holders, up to two). Overstaying can lead to arrest, up to one year in prison, a fine of up to GYD 50,000 and deportation at your own expense.
