Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go
Check your phone coverage abroad

WARNThe US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Guyana: Level 3 — Reconsider Travel (as of 2025-05-12). The State Department recommends reconsidering travel here; read the country page and check whether your specific destination falls in a higher-risk zone. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
