The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has launched a Remigration Brochure.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that Foreign Secretary Robert Persaud told the media yesterday the brochure will fill any information gaps in the process.
“One of the gaps we noticed is persons were unclear on how they can go about accessing the remigration scheme. Immediately, we developed what we call a ‘remigration brochure’ that is now available on the internet, but also at all our missions and embassies [which provides] the basic information they need to know,” Persaud said.
The Remigration Brochure can be accessed on the Ministry’s website at:https://www.minfor.gov.gy/wp-content/uploads/ 2020/11/Remigration.pdf.
The remigration process involves the Ministry and the Guyana Revenue Authority. The Ministry will process the application and through the Minister’s Office, make recommendations, Persaud said. The GRA examines the tax exemptions aspect, as provided by law.
DPI said that the simplified process allows persons to track their applications as they are processed and to see the exemptions for which they may qualify.
Persaud noted that the Ministry is working with the International Office for Migration, which is finalising a strategy that looks at remigration and the diaspora to make remigration more lucrative.
