Rules in force · 6Uneven pavements, open drains and heat

Suriname ↗Entry procedures (visa, e-visa or tourist card and entry fee) have changed several times; check the official Suriname government portal or a Surinamese embassy for your passport.
Suriname ↗Interior trips should be booked with an established operator that includes transport, as river and road access depend on the weather.
Paramaribo and Commewijne ↗In the long rainy season (late Apr–Aug) boat and road trips can be cancelled: keep a spare day.
Paramaribo ↗Uneven pavements, open drains and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
Paramaribo ↗After dark, take a taxi door to door; do not walk between clusters.
Paramaribo ↗The airport is 45 km away on an unlit road: pre-book the pickup and leave for departures three to four hours before the flight.
