Alexander Ruiz Bermudez yesterday appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where he faced an illegal entry charge.
It is alleged that on October 12, at Lethem, Bermudez entered Guyana by crossing a land frontier and failed to present himself to an Immigration Officer.
Speaking through an interpreter from the Venezuelan Embassy, the Cuban man pleaded guilty.
He explained to the court that Bermudez came to Guyana as a tourist and thought that he possessed a visa for three months but later realised it was for a mere seven days.
The interpreter on, behalf of the representatives from the Cuban Embassy who were present, made a request for a 30 days visa for the Cuban man.
Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry offered the defendant man two options: to either pay a $30,000 fine or serve three months imprisonment. Bermudez opted to pay the fine.
She explained that it is not in her power to distribute visas and instructed the entourage on the lawful course of action in this regard.
