Frequently asked questions about the Suriname Entry Fee

Does the Suriname Entry Fee replace the visa for US, UK, and EU citizens?

Yes. Since 2022, citizens of over 50 countries (including the US, UK, Canada, and EU nations) are visa-exempt for tourism. However, you aren't exempt from payment; you must pay the Suriname Entry Fee online before your trip to be granted entry.

Can I pay the Suriname Entry Fee upon arrival in Paramaribo?

While there are kiosks at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport, the Surinamese government strongly recommends paying online before departure. Airlines may deny boarding if you don't present the voucher during check-in. It's best to have the printed voucher ready before you fly.

How many times can I enter Suriname with one Entry Fee?

The Entry Fee is for a single entry only. Every time you exit and re-enter Suriname—even if you're coming back from a quick trip to neighboring Guyana or French Guiana—you must pay the fee again and obtain a new voucher.

Do children/minors need their own Suriname Entry Fee?

Yes. There are no age exemptions for the Entry Fee. Every traveler, including infants and minors, must have their own individual payment voucher.

How long is the Suriname Entry Fee valid for?

Once approved, your Entry Fee voucher is typically valid for up to 90 days from the date of issuance (check your specific voucher for the expiry date). Once you enter, you’re usually permitted to stay for up to 90 days for tourism purposes.

Can I buy the Suriname Entry Fee after I arrive?

No. To benefit from the visa fee waiver, you must purchase the Suriname Entry Fee online before you enter the Hashemite Kingdom. If you buy it after passing through immigration, you'll have already paid the visa fee, and it won't be refunded.

Can I extend my stay beyond the 90 days granted?

The Entry Fee allows for a stay of up to 90 days. If you wish to stay longer, you must visit the Immigration Office (Vreemdelingenzaken) in Paramaribo to apply for an extension or a residency permit. Staying past your allotted time without an extension results in fines upon departure.

Is the Suriname Entry Fee valid for business trips?

No. The Entry Fee is strictly for tourism and family visits. If you're traveling for business, employment, or study, you're not eligible for the Entry Fee and must apply for the appropriate Suriname eVisa through the official portal.

How will I receive the Suriname Entry Fee?

Once your Suriname Entry Fee application is approved, you’ll receive an email with a PDF. We recommend printing a physical copy to present to airline staff before boarding and to immigration officers upon arrival at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport.

How long does the Suriname Entry Fee processing take?

The Suriname Entry Fee is usually processed quickly. With iVisa, you can get your Suriname Entry Fee in as little as 30 minutes (depending on your application and chosen delivery speed). We recommend applying at least 2 days before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

What happens if my Suriname Entry Fee application is denied?

If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reasons for denial are data entry errors or poor-quality document scans. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information. iVisa offers denial protection. Our experts manually review your passport scan and flight details before submission to prevent these common issues.
