@ emmanuel
you can send a visa application request to any Guyana embassy or consulate. It is suggested that you call them first before mailing anything
it’s not advisable to send your visa application request to Guyana

Hello VOG… I am a Guyanese citizen, currently in the UK for studies (5 years now). However, my passport will be expiring in July 2010, and I am planning on coming home during that time. Where do I go to re-new my passport? Also I was told that all Guyanese passport will have be biometric. Do I have to come home to get my biometrics taken?
And finally, I would like to change the original picture that is on my passport (some 10 years ago), for a more recent one. Is this possible?

@ Renni
most airlines will not allow you to fly with a passport within 6 months of expiration so please contact the High Commission in London and start the renewal process there.
The new passport has no bio-metric data it is ‘machine readable’ and yes you will have to take new photographs
