How much does a Suriname visa cost?

On a US passport the government fee is $0.00 and our service fee starts at $59.00, so a standard application totals $59.00. Government fees are set by Suriname and vary by nationality and visa type.

Why is there a service fee on top of the government fee?

The government fee is paid to Suriname. Our fee covers checking your photo, passport details and supporting documents against the current rules before the application is filed — the errors that cause most rejections — plus tracking and support until your visa is issued.

What happens if my application is refused?

Our service fee is refunded if we cannot deliver your approved visa. Where the refusal is caused by an error on our side we correct and resubmit at no extra charge. Government fees are not refundable once an application has been filed.

How long does a Suriname visa take?

Government processing normally takes 3–5 days. Suriname asks travellers to apply at least 4 days before arrival, and no government guarantees a decision date — apply as early as you can.

How do I apply for a Suriname visa online?

Complete our application form — it takes most travellers five to ten minutes — and upload your passport page and photo. A specialist reviews everything before submission, files it with the consulate, and emails your approved visa.

What documents do I need for a Suriname visa?

A passport valid for at least six months on the date you arrive, a recent digital photograph that meets Suriname's specification, and a scan of your passport biographical page. Business and medical applications also need supporting paperwork such as an invitation or hospital letter.

What are the Suriname visa photo requirements?

A recent, front-facing colour photograph with a plain white background, no glasses and no head covering except for religious reasons. Photo problems are one of the most common causes of refusal, so we check yours against the current specification before filing.

Can I apply for my whole family at once?

Yes. Set the number of travellers in the pricing panel and we manage the applications together so names, dates and documents stay consistent across the group.

How do I use my Suriname visa at the airport?

Your visa is placed in your passport, so simply present your passport at immigration.

Can I extend my Suriname visa?

No. Suriname does not extend this visa — you must leave the country and apply again.

What are the Suriname overstay penalties?

Around $8 per day overstayed. Overstaying can also mean a multi-year entry ban and removal, and it is recorded against future applications.
