Belgium → Suriname: Short-stay tourist

Whether you need a visa at all, according to official sources.

Checked by our automated verification on 20 Oct 2026: every source on this page resolves and the data is structurally complete. This does not confirm a person re-read the source text for accuracy.

You likely don't need a visa

You don't need a visa to visit Suriname as a tourist or for a family visit. Suriname abolished its tourist/family-visit visa requirement worldwide on 1 July 2022, then reinstated it on 1 May 2023 for a specific list of 21 nationalities, yours isn't one of them. You can stay up to 90 days. You still have to pay Suriname's Entry Fee online before you travel and show the voucher at check-in (see the checklist) unless you fall into one of the fee-exempt groups, such as CARICOM passport holders. The government's list of the 21 non-exempt nationalities was last confirmed current in a September 2024 update, and Suriname's government has said publicly it may add more countries to that list, confirm your nationality's status close to your travel date rather than relying on this indefinitely.
