St Maarten visa requirement for Guyanese in effect

The requirement for Guyanese and Jamaicans to have visas before entering St Maarten came into  effect from last Monday and according to one report the new requirement has left travellers already booked to visit the country in the coming days in limbo because no notice was given.

A report in the Daily Herald in the Dutch/French island reported that its Justice Minister Roland Duncan confirmed that visas were now needed. He made the disclosure in a press release issued after the newspaper contacted his office
