Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President yesterday announced that Guyana will be moving to introduce online processing of visa applications.
According to the Government Information Agency, he said the decision was taken by the Defence Board at its August 21 meeting. The HPS said that the decision is based on the policy of visa-free travel to Guyana that was adopted by the PPP/C Administration during former President Bharrat Jagdeo’s tenure.
“Undoubtedly, the increase in arrivals through the visa-free mechanism has contributed to the decision to examine going online with the processing of visas for Guyana,” the Cabinet Secretary said.
