The ICF (Immigration and Customs Form) at icf.sr is 100% free and mandatory for all travelers. However, non-exempt foreign tourists must first pay the separate Suriname Entry Fee (USD 50 / EUR 50 + service fee) through VFS Global before completing the Arrival ICF, because the VFS Web Reference Number is required on the ICF.
Surinamese citizens and residents, CARICOM citizens, holders of a valid PSA (Person of Surinamese Origin) card/document, holders of a valid Suriname e-Visa, Vatican City passport holders, and accredited diplomats only need to complete the free ICF.
Yes. Every passenger departing Suriname must complete the Departure ICF within 7 days before departure. The departure form is much shorter and does not ask accommodation or customs questions.
You must take or upload a clear, current front-facing photo against a plain background with both ears clearly visible, neutral expression, and no hats, sunglasses, or digital filters.
No. Under Suriname's Foreign Exchange Regulation Decision No. 225, physically carrying cash equal to or exceeding USD 10,000 (or equivalent in foreign/local currency) into or out of Suriname by natural persons is strictly prohibited.
No commercial service or private agency can guarantee border admission into Suriname. Final entry permission rests exclusively with border control and immigration officers at your port of entry. NomadicMart is an independent private application concierge not affiliated with the Government of Suriname or icf.sr. We verify your declaration data and submit it accurately within the official filing window.
