While the European Union (EU) cannot immediately give a timeline on when Schengen visas will be issued to Guyanese here rather than in neighbouring Suriname, its new Ambassador here, René van Nes, says the issue has his full attention.
Just two weeks into his new portfolio, the European envoy said that he is already engaging member states to have in the first instance, a temporary arrangement, even as they explore ways to a more permanent solution later.
Ambassador van Nes said that in his first meeting with President Irfaan Ali, the issue was brought to the fore.
