President Irfaan Ali has officially revoked the order under the Immigration Act that allowed Haitian nationals visa-free travel to Guyana.
An order, signed by the president and published in an Extraordinary edition of the Official Gazette on June 22, 2021, states that the Immigration Order of 2019 is revoked in its entirety with immediate effect.
In January 2019, then President David Granger signed the immigration order for Haiti to be added to the list of countries whose nationals could travel to Guyana without any visa requirement.
Ali’s revocation came hours after Attorney General Anil Nandlall announced that government would be implementing a visa requirement for Haitians and Cubans as a condition of entry into Guyana.
