The Ministry of Home Affairs and GTT on Wednesday launched the Mobile Money Guyana (MMG) service for the General Register Office and Immigration Services.
Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn, said that the ministry is working on establishing an online tint application, a verification process, and payment for the tint application via the MMG service. According to a press release from the ministry, it was brought to the minister’s attention that misinformation regarding the tint permit and the payment process has been circulating in the media. Benn made it clear that the MMG services launched on Wednesday only apply to payment at the Guyana Register Office and Immigration Support Services for various categories of visas and work permits, as well as birth, death, and marriage registrations. The Tint Waiver application is not included.
Currently, there is no fee attached to a tint waiver permit, which is valid for one year. However, fees will be introduced in the near future for the processing of the tint permit.
The one- year validity is an adjustment to the six-month period stated on the application for a tint waiver form.
Benn also announced that the validity of the tint permit would soon be extended from one year to three years. This is also a part of the future plans.
How to apply for a tint permit
• The application form can be uplifted at the Minister’s Secretariat or downloaded from the Ministry of Home Affairs website (https://moha.gov.gy/).
• Applicants must complete the application form.
• Applicants must write a formal request to the Minister of Home Affairs, indicating the reason for the tint waiver and attach supporting documents to substantiate their claim.
• Submit copies of: The vehicle registration, GRA licence for motor vehicle, Certificate of Fitness, and Two passport-size photographs.
The completed application with all the relevant documents must be submitted to the Minister’s Secretariat for processing.
