@Mitwah posted:Guyanese living abroad will also be eligible to collect the $100,000 cash grant with the caveat that they have to be in Guyana for the registration process and be in possession of a national ID card or passport. Further the grant has to be uplifted in person in the form of cash or cheque, depending on their location here.
“There is no residency requirement for the receipt of the cash grant. So that makes Guyanese living abroad who have an ID card or a passport also eligible for the cash grant,” Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday announced.
See Stabroek news.
U going?? Lol
Many folks from Cda r going to collect…smh
…that is like $500 US but airfare x 2 plus cost of passport n ID card…
SMH!!
I cant find my GY ID card n i got rid of passport since i became a Cdn citizen n got CdN passport 1998/99
Isnt it better to give to the folks living in GY, rather than those living abroad who have not contributed to the country for decades n who live a comfortable life overseas esp inNA??
