Visa & Passport Requirements for Suriname in 2025: Everything You Need to Know

Planning a vacation to Suriname or adding it to your South America itinerary? Before you go, it’s important to be aware of the current visa and passport requirements for 2025. We’ve put together a clear and practical overview to help you prepare your trip with ease.

Do You Need a Visa for Suriname?

Good news: For most travelers from Europe, including the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as countries like the United States and Canada, a tourist visa is no longer required for stays up to 90 days.

Instead, Suriname requires a mandatory Entry Fee, which must be paid online before departure.

✅ Visa-free travel + Entry Fee applies to citizens of:

• The Netherlands
• Belgium
• Other EU countries
• United States
• Canada
• Caribbean nations

💳 How to Apply for the Suriname Entry Fee

Since 2022, travelers from the above countries must pay a mandatory Entry Fee instead of applying for a visa. The process is simple and can be completed online.

✅ Step-by-step application:

1. Go to the official eVisa website:
   👉 https://suriname.vfsevisa.com
2. Select Entry Fee in the menu.
3. Fill in your personal details and upload a scan of your passport.
4. Pay the fee (USD 25) with a credit card.
5. After approval, you’ll receive a confirmation email.
   📲 Print it out or save it offline on your phone.

➡️ You must present this proof upon arrival at the airport in Suriname.

Documents Required Upon Arrival

When you arrive in Suriname, immigration may ask for the following:

• A passport valid for at least 6 months

• Entry Fee confirmation (printed or saved offline)

• Proof of return or onward travel

• Hotel confirmation or address of host

🌍 Special Cases: Who Still Needs a Visa?

Travelers from countries not listed above (e.g., certain African or Asian nations) may still require a traditional visa. Also, if you plan to stay longer than 90 days, work, volunteer, or study, different rules apply.

Always check with the Surinamese consulate or embassy for up-to-date requirements based on your nationality and travel purpose.
