Entry Fee
As of 1 July 2022, visitors to Suriname no longer require a visa. Instead, tourists must pay an Entry Fee of €58 (€50 entry fee and €8 administrative costs). This payment must be made at least 24 hours before departure to Suriname, and you are required to print the confirmation document and bring a hard copy with you.
For more details, please visit Suriname Consulate – Entry Fee Information or register here.
Please note that the payment system may not work on mobile devices but should function properly on a computer.
ICF (Immigration Customs Form)
From 15 January 2025, the Immigration Customs Form (ICF) is mandatory for all passengers travelling to and from Suriname. Before completing the form, ensure you have purchased the Entry Fee.
Until 15 January, paper forms were provided on the plane for submission to customs upon arrival in Suriname. This process has now been fully digitalised.
You can fill out the form online starting 7 days prior to your arrival in Suriname.
Yellow fever
A yellow fever vaccination is mandatory if you have been in a yellow fever-endemic country within 7 days prior to your visit.
Recommended vaccinations
It is advised to have DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Polio) and Hepatitis vaccinations before travelling to Suriname.
The currency of Suriname is the Surinamese Dollar (SRD), but USD and Euros are also widely accepted. Foreign currency can be exchanged at exchange offices (cambio’s).
When travelling to the interior, it is essential to have SRD, as other currencies are generally not accepted. Keep in mind that many ATMs may not function or could be out of cash, so ensure you bring enough cash with you.
Suriname uses both American-style plugs (Type A/B) and European-style plugs (Type C/F). If you need an adapter, they are readily available for purchase in most supermarkets.
All foreign national driving licences are valid for 14 days in Suriname, but they must be accompanied by a passport. After this period, an international driving permit is required.
Please note that in Suriname, we drive on the left-hand side of the road.
While malaria is not present in Suriname, diseases like dengue are common. Protect yourself by bringing DEET or using locally available mosquito repellent.
Suriname is a melting pot of cultures, with Creoles, Hindustani, Javanese, Chinese, and smaller groups such as Brazilians and Dutch living side by side. This rich cultural diversity plays a significant role in the country’s unique character.
