Suriname Tourist Visa

2. Citizens of all countries are eligible to apply for an eVisa, with the exception of visa-exempt countries mentioned in the list below. E-Visas allow visitors to stay up to 60 days and can be either Single Entry or Multiple Entry, which is its chief advantage over the e-Tourist Card.

If you plan to make several trips in and out of Suriname and don’t need to stay more than 2 months, the Multiple-Entry eVisa could be your best option, even if you are also eligible for an e-Tourist Card.

Lastly, citizens of the following countries may enter Suriname without needing any type of visa:

• Up to 6 months: Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bonaire, Brazil, Curaçao, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Israel, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saba, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, Trinidad and Tobago.
• Up to 90 days: Hong Kong, Japan, and Russia.
• Up to 30 days: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Serbia, and South Korea.

No matter where you’re from, it’s important that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date you’ll arrive in the country. If you’re applying for the e-Tourist Card, your passport must have at least 1 blank page for immigration officials to stamp, and if you’re applying for the eVisa it must have 2 blank pages.

If you’re travelling alone with a child under 17 years of age, you’ll need to show his or her birth certificate and consent for travel from the child’s second parent. All children must have their own visas, even if they are registered in your passport.

If you’ll be travelling through countries with a risk of yellow fever before arriving in Suriname, including spending more than 12 hours in an airport in a high-risk country, you’ll need to present a certificate of yellow fever vaccination upon arrival. You can check the certificate requirements on the World Health Organisation’s website.
