About This Visa

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a Suriname visa before travel. From 1 May 2023 Suriname reinstated visa requirements for nationals of 21 countries including India — the simpler Entry Fee voucher used by many other nationalities is not available to Indian passports.

Apply online only through VFS Global at https://suriname.vfsevisa.com. Register, upload documents, pay the tourist e-Visa fee plus the VFS service fee, and wait for email approval. Usual staff choice: Tourist Visa — 3 months (USD 60 + USD 18 service) for stays up to 90 days per entry.
