Growing up my family always made pepperpot, curry, chow mein.. ext. However, I just recently learned about this Garlic pork recipe.

How is it? Is it worth adding in? Does it go well with any particular side dish?

Good day everyone. I'm interested in finding out the process to acquire NIS & GRA compliance for a small business. Any advise will be very much appreciated.

Has anyone here successfully traced where exactly in India their Indo-Guyanese ancestors came from? How did you do it?

Just wrote my first article online everyone, it takes a look into language and identity, especially as Guyanese people. Let me know what ayuh think.

Hey everyone. I’m recording a long conversation with Alvin Kallicharran today.

This is my first proper interview and I’m doing the research and production by myself. It felt wrong to sit down with someone from that generation without giving Guyanese and West Indies supporters a chance to ask something too.

If you had one question for him, what would it be?

It could be about growing up in Berbice, Basil Butcher or Rohan Kanhai, learning to bat, the great West Indies teams, the 1975 World Cup, captaincy, or something completely different.

I’ll ask the top-voted sensible question if it fits the conversation. If it’s yours, I’ll check with you before showing your username and credit this subreddit when I ask it.

I’ll come back afterward and share his answer.

One question per comment would help.

Hi! I have an expired Guyanese passport and I want to renew it at the Consulate in New York. How long would it take and if I expedite it how long would it take?

A Cuban friend of mine has been waiting since January for he ubication at the hospital, and every time he goes to the ministry they stay silence and lady told he that the process is freeze, I worry for he but also for the other doctors I have so much faith in them

Hello everyone. Living in Guyana without a car can be difficult. If you are moving here, it is good to know that it is possible to get a local driver's license using a valid license from your home country.

Here is a general overview of what you need and how the process works.

Main Requirements

• Valid driver's license from your home country.
• Letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs showing a valid work permit.
• Copy of the passport page with your work permit stamp.

The Process

• Submit your application and documents at the GRA (Guyana Revenue Authority) office.
• Pay the processing fee.
• Wait for processing, which usually takes two to three weeks.

Once approved, you will receive a local license equivalent to the vehicle category on your original license.

In my case, I completed this process using my driver's license from Bolivia, and I have heard about people from other countries doing the same.

I hope this helps anyone planning their move to Guyana.

Just got back from Jamaica and Guyana has a way better Vybe

Hello everyone. A while ago, my sister wanted to visit me in Guyana. To do this, she needed to apply for a visitor visa. I am sharing our experience to help anyone going through this process.

Because Bolivia is a Spanish-speaking country, all documents must be translated to English. Most of these translated documents also need to be notarized.

Sponsor Requirement

You will need a sponsor living in Guyana. The application requires the sponsor's full name and address. In this case, I acted as the sponsor.

Required Documents

The application is completed online through the MHA. You will need to scan and upload the following documents:

• Passport biodata page (mandatory)
• Passport photo of the applicant (mandatory)
• Applicant's birth certificate (mandatory)
• Letter requesting visa on arrival (mandatory)
• Certificate of character (police clearance)
• Bank statement
• Medical report
• Sponsor's ID and sponsor's passport biodata page
• Sponsor's passport photo
• Marriage certificate, spouse birth certificate, or children birth certificates (if applicable)

Important Tips for the Application

• Submit only once: Be careful when submitting online. The system can glitch and create a double application, which will delay the process.
• How to follow up: The application review can take time. Calling or emailing the MHA will never work. The best way to follow up is for the sponsor to go in person to the MHA office in Georgetown.
• Visa validity and timing: The visitor visa is valid for three months starting from the date of approval (the date they answer), not from the date you arrive. Do not apply too early. Only start the process once you have travel dates.

I hope this information helps anyone planning a visit to Guyana.

Hey guys I'm 17 and I'm curious how do I go about getting my license for a 150cc scooter and how long would it take.
