Applying for an airport transit visa for the Netherlands in Guyana

If you live in Guyana and want to apply for an airport transit visa for the Netherlands or Switzerland, you cannot do this at the Netherlands consulate in Georgetown. You can apply for this type of visa at the external service provider VFS Global in Suriname.

Extra information

After submitting the visa application, your passport will be returned to you so that you can return to Guyana. Upon return in Guyana, you'll have to send your passport as soon as possible (within 10 days) via commercial courier (DHL, FedEx) to the Netherlands embassy in Paramaribo:

Together with the passport, you should include a fully paid return envelope from a commercial courier (DHL, FedEx) addressed to your home address.

After the embassy receives the result on the visa application either the visa sticker will be put in the passport or the refusal letter will be printed out. The result on the visa application together with the passport of the applicant will be returned to your home address via the fully paid return envelope.
