The new Guyana passport will be introduced towards the end of this year or in early 2020 after the stock of existing documents has been exhausted, according to Citizenship Minister Winston Felix.
“We are going to be running with the old passports until they run out towards the end of the year…November or December and then after they have run out, the supply of the new passport should kick in late 2019 or early 2020, by which time we should have paid down the first installment,” Felix said when contacted on Thursday.
Felix stressed that “you can’t talk in the budget today and the passport come tomorrow.”
