AGP Executive Report

Last update: 34 minutes ago

Passport Speed-Up: Guyana’s Immigration Support Department says standard passport processing is now about three working days, with expedited options in as little as 24 hours (and sometimes same day), plus longer validity choices (5 or 10 years; under-10s get 5 years). Digital Travel Prep: The Central Immigration and Passport Office is rolling out an online passport application and e-appointment system on June 15, letting applicants start from home, upload documents, and book biometrics—alongside reduced wait times and mobile/home services for elderly and persons with disabilities. Air Connectivity Boost: Caribbean Airlines will launch daily non-stop Guyana–Toronto service from July 1, with one-way fares starting around CAD$595 and USD$512, plus baggage and upgrade options. Tourism Spotlight: Guyana was named among the top 20 safest travel destinations in the Americas and Caribbean, especially highlighted for solo women travellers and cruise visitors. Tourism Numbers: The Guyana Tourism Authority reports 40,149 visitor arrivals in May 2026, up 20.6% year-on-year, driven by Diamond Jubilee events. Regional Travel Tech: Stakeholders met on implementing e-ID travel between Barbados and Guyana from July 1, focusing on check-in, boarding, and passenger verification. Next Big Dates: NGSA results are set for July 10, a key travel-planning moment for families. Infrastructure Watch: 29 bids were submitted for the Parika Waterfront Development Project (Region Three) valued at about $499M.
