Why no visa restrictions for Vincentians? 'It’s easy to answer'- Zan Lewis
Premier Wheatley during a press conference on Monday, September 30, 2024, officially announced visa-free travel to the VI for nationals of Guyana.
The removal of Guyana from the list of countries needing visas to enter the Territory brings that list to ninety inclusive of four Caribbean countries, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica.
No logical reason for Guyana nationals needing visa while Vincentians don’t- Premier Wheatley
The Premier said as it pertains to visas the current administration wants a regime that makes sense.
“For instance, you can’t tell me why Guyana should have a visa restriction and St. Vincent shouldn’t have a visa restriction. For me there was no logical reason for that to take place and also when we look at the logistics,” he explained.
Well, when it was Zan Lewis’ turn to pose questions to the Premier, he opened with telling the Premier it is “easy to answer, very easy to answer” why Guyanese nationals needed a visa to enter the VI and not Vincentians.
Talk show hosts Damion C. Grange and Elvin G. Grant have also called on the Premier to look into removing visa restrictions for nationals of Jamaica and also questioned why the island has not been considered for visa-free travel.
Premier Wheatley during the press conference also announced that discussions will begin soon with the Dominican Republic for a deeper working relationship and possible visa-free travel for their nationals.

Guyana has oil. SO WHAT!!! SO WHAT??!!! Put country first! This is just looking like some under table deal that has zero benefit to the country. No matter how they try to explain it, it makes Zero sense. Would the Hon Andrew Fahie have allowed this mayhem? I think not.
If Zan knows something then he should just open his big mouth and talk ????.
Jamaicans played tit for tat with their visa band. Now, their people here with some talk. Smh
