Guyana announces that, starting October 1, passport applications must be submitted through an online appointment system and that passport offices will stop accepting walk-in applications.
According to announcements shared publicly by senior immigration officials, applicants will be “dealt with by an appointment” rather than through in-person submissions. The policy applies nationwide, with offices no longer taking people directly at the counters.
Outlets also note provisions for people who may have difficulty using online services. Kaieteur News reports that elderly and disabled applicants can benefit from home visits, while iNews Guyana and the Guyana Chronicle focus on the operational change that all applications must be booked and processed online. The details of how exceptions or assistance are administered are not fully outlined in the excerpts, but all sources agree on the end of walk-ins and the start date of October 1, 2026.
