Entry Requirements

Passports should be valid at least six months from the date of entry. Visitors from most countries other than the Caribbean Community need visas. Apply for a two-month, multiple-entry-traveler visa, which costs as much as the usual two months, valid tourist visa. Costs vary as per country of residence. A visa can be provided at the airport if organised in advance by a local tour operator or contact. Alternatively it may be obtained from a Suriname diplomatic mission.

This office can be reached by telephone: 532109. A vaccination certificate against yellow fever and cholera is only required when you arrive from an infected area.
