Latest Travel Alert
Covid-19 is still a threat, but with continued public health measures, vaccination and testing, it will be possible to travel internationally. You will need to plan your travel carefully and there are risks.
Given the uncertainty around transatlantic travel options into Ireland, we very strongly advise against any further travel into the region until the COVID-19 crisis has been contained.
General Travel Advice
In recent years there have been outbreaks of Zika Virus (a dengue-like mosquito-borne disease) in Central and South America and the Caribbean. However, there is currently no evidence of a Zika Virus outbreak in Guyana. Irish Citizens, especially those with a weakened immune system or women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, are advised to follow guidance available on the website of the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) at http://www.hpsc.ie/A-Z/Vectorborne/Zika/.
You can contact the emergency services in Guyana by dialling (999).
As there is no Irish Embassy in this country, we’re limited in the help we can offer you in an emergency. You can contact the Irish Embassy in Brasília on +55 61 3248 8800 and the Honorary Consul in Guyana.
EU Directive on Consular Protection
Under the EU Consular Protection Directive, Irish nationals may seek assistance from the Embassy or Consulate of any other EU member state in a country where there is no Irish Embassy or permanent representation.
