How this access rule is documented

  1. Visa required

    Suriname: 21 named ordinary-passport nationalities subject to visa requirement

    Government guidance identifies these 21 nationalities as outside the unilateral visa abolition from 1 May 2023, and BIBIS confirms that a visa requirement was reinstated for the 21 countries. This records a visa-required baseline, not an eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • The Government directly names this closed 21-nationality cohort as excluded from the unilateral visa abolition from 1 May 2023; BIBIS confirms the visa requirement was reinstated for the 21 countries.
    • This is normalized as visa_required, not evisa: the official explanation calls the system a digital visa application system but does not establish electronically issued ordinary-tourism visas for this entire cohort. BIBIS separately says visa-required travellers may not travel without a valid visa. No visa-on-arrival route is stated.
    • The Entry Fee is a separate fee/voucher mechanism. It is not treated as a visa, ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival status, and it does not displace the stated visa requirement.
    • For Cuba, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, BIBIS says a tourist card was reintroduced alongside the visa for tourist, business and short-stay travel. The card is recorded only as an additional condition, not a separate normalized status.
    • The Government separately states an Entry Fee of USD 50 or EUR 50 plus a VFS Global service fee of USD 8 or EUR 8, payable at each entry; it is not a visa fee or visa category. No visa duration, entries, extension, port, admission result, health, funds or onward-travel condition is inferred. Residence, PSA, transit, CARICOM, diplomatic, service, special, official, international-organization, business, work and third-country-document exceptions are outside this ordinary visitor baseline.

  2. Visa required

    Suriname: 21 named ordinary-passport nationalities subject to visa requirement

    Current Government guidance identifies these 21 nationalities as excluded from unilateral visa abolition from 1 May 2023, and BIBIS confirms their visa requirement was reinstated. This is a visa-required baseline, not a visa-on-arrival policy or a finding of electronically issued visas.

    • The Government directly names this closed 21-nationality cohort as excluded from unilateral visa abolition from 1 May 2023; BIBIS confirms the visa requirement was reinstated for the 21 countries.
    • The Government’s E-Visa directory and BIBIS explanation establish an authorized online application service, but the opened official workflow does not state that a final ordinary visitor visa for this whole cohort is issued electronically. It is consequently normalized as visa_required, not evisa.
    • No visa-on-arrival route is stated. The separate Government Entry Fee voucher is not treated as a visa, ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival status, and does not displace the visa requirement.
    • For Cuba, Dominican Republic and Venezuela, BIBIS says a tourist card was reintroduced alongside the visa for tourist, business and short-stay travel. This alternate document is retained as a condition, not a separate normalized status.
    • No visa duration, entries, extension, port, admission result, health, funds or onward-travel condition is inferred. Residence, PSA, transit, CARICOM, diplomatic, service, special, official, international-organization, business, work and third-country-document exceptions are outside this ordinary visitor baseline.
