Or adding Suriname to your South America itinerary? Then it\u2019s important to stay up to date with the current visa and passport requirements for 2026. In this blog, we explain everything clearly and simply.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"365\">Do you need a visa for Suriname?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"579\">For most travelers from Europe, including the Netherlands and Belgium, a tourist visa is no longer required for stays of up to 90 days. Instead, a mandatory <strong data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"538\">tourism fee<\/strong>, also called the <strong data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"569\">Entry Fee<\/strong>, applies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"614\">\u2705 This applies to travelers from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"634\">The Netherlands<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"646\">Belgium<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"669\">Other EU countries<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"687\">United States<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"698\">Canada<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"701\" data-end=\"717\">Caribbean region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"766\">How to apply for the Suriname Entry Fee<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"972\">Since 2022, tourists from the Netherlands, Belgium, the EU, the US and Canada are exempt from the visa requirement.
