Venezuela → Suriname: Short-stay tourist

A valid passport. The government's pages state that visa-required travellers may not check in or board without a valid passport and visa, but don't publish a specific minimum validity period (such as 6 months beyond your stay) anywhere reached in this research, confirm directly with your airline or the nearest Surinamese mission before travelling.

If your nationality is on Suriname's 21-country list (Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Syria, Tunisia, Venezuela, Zambia), you need a tourist visa instead of the Entry Fee, applied for online at suriname.vfsevisa.com. If you hold a Cuban, Dominican Republic, or Venezuelan passport specifically, you also need to buy a Suriname Tourist Card through the same portal, in addition to the visa, the ministry's own wording is that the Tourist Card is required "naast het visum" (alongside the visa), not instead of it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Business and International Cooperation of Suriname says, in its announcement of 26 April 2025, that children from 0 up to and including 2 years old are exempt from paying any form of the Entry Fee from 1 January 2025. It adds that those responsible for children from 3 years old do have to pay the Entry Fee. The announcement does not say whether a free voucher still has to be requested for a child under 3, so check the VFS Global Suriname portal it names.

If your nationality isn't on Suriname's 21-country visa-required list, you pay an Entry Fee instead of getting a visa: USD 50 or EUR 50, plus an USD 8 or EUR 8 VFS Global service fee, paid online at suriname.vfsevisa.com before you travel (physical payment at the border is also allowed, but described by the ministry itself as a cumbersome fallback, pay online). You'll be emailed a voucher in PDF format; airlines are required to check for it at check-in. You're exempt from this fee if you already hold a valid Surinamese visa, hold a CARICOM-country passport, hold a valid PSA (Person of Surinamese Descent) document or card, hold a valid Suriname residence permit, hold a Diplomatic/Service/Special/Official passport, hold a UN or Interpol Laissez-Passer, hold a Vatican City passport, or are transiting through Zanderij or Zorg en Hoop airport without leaving.

The ministry names a recently-introduced "Immigration and Customs Form" as a requirement for entering Suriname, alongside your other travel documents. It doesn't describe on this page what the form asks for or exactly how/when to file it, check with your airline or a Surinamese mission close to your travel date.
