Mandatory Yellow Fever Vaccination
The Ministry of Health in Suriname advises travelers visiting the country to get vaccinated against Yellow Fever. Special attention is requested for travelers arriving from high-risk areas, such as African and Latin American countries. This advice also applies to travelers departing from Suriname to regional areas.
Passengers must be in possession of the yellow booklet, the “International Certificate of Vaccination.” If you cannot present this booklet during inspection, you will be denied entry into the country. Travelers must receive the vaccination at least 10 days prior to departure for their destination.
E-VISA
As part of easing the current visa policy and promoting tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with “VFS (Visa Facilitating Service) Global,” launched the E-visa & E-tourist card website on April 15, 2019. The E-visa and E-tourist card are mandatory travel documents for tourists traveling to Suriname.
Visa Facilitating Service
This online E-visa application allows visa-required travelers and citizens of countries eligible for a tourist card to complete their applications and payments entirely electronically. The issuance of the visa or tourist card also takes place electronically by sending the E-Visa or E-Tourist Card in PDF format to the applicant’s email address.
