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.

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??

I have to wonder..wht’s the ‘catch’ here ..looking for overseas voters??

Wht’s the logic?? Bribery? For support??

One has to be in Guyana to collect his or her cheque.

So 100,000 Guyanese$  is equivalent to $630.CDN. My flight is about $958.CDN plus hotel and food and ground transportation.

I have my old red ID card and my Guyana passport has been expired for about 40+ years now, which I understand could take over 2 years to renew.

I see Uncle Rama missing. Wonder if he gone already?

not worth it, to besides I have not lived in Guyana 44 years, I am not interested in the few dollars.Let them give it to those who need it more back home. This is just a stupid thing offering it to overseas based Guyanese.

I don't don't need money or handouts. I am a self-sufficient person.
