Since July 2022, most international tourists (including citizens of the UK, US, Canada, EU/Schengen, India, Indonesia, and Turkey) are exempt from a traditional visa for stays up to 90 days, but must pay the mandatory online Suriname Entry Fee ($25 USD/EUR + $8 VFS fee) prior to travel to receive an Electronic Entry Fee Voucher. Citizens of approximately 21 visa-required countries—including Pakistan (PAK), Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka—must instead apply online for a full Suriname e-Visa before traveling.

Citizens of CARICOM member states, holders of a Surinamese passport or PSA (Personen van Surinaamse Afkomst) document, holders of a valid Suriname residence permit, diplomatic/service passport holders, and Vatican City passport holders are exempt from the Suriname Entry Fee.

A single-entry Suriname Entry Fee Voucher is valid for 50 calendar days from the date of issuance to enter Suriname via Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM) in Paramaribo or the Guyana/French Guiana river borders. Once you enter Suriname, you may stay for up to 90 days.

No commercial agency or third-party facilitator can guarantee visa approval. All authorization decisions rest exclusively with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Suriname.
