Poland to Suriname visa requirements

Polish ordinary-passport holders do not need a traditional visa for tourism in Suriname, but they must obtain a paid e-Tourist Card (the "Entry Fee") online before arrival through the official VFS Global Suriname e-Visa portal. The single-entry Entry Fee costs USD 50 / EUR 50, is valid for 90 days, and permits a stay of up to 90 days. Suriname is not a Schengen country, so the EU Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are irrelevant here. As of 2026, Suriname operates a fully online entry system. Poland is not on Suriname's list of nationalities requiring a full e-Visa or consular visa, nor is it among the small group of fully visa-/fee-exempt countries (mainly Caribbean states and Vatican City). Instead, Polish travelers fall into the "Entry Fee" category: they enter visa-free for tourism or family visits but must purchase an e-Tourist Card online and pay an Entry Fee of USD 50 or EUR 50 before departure. The e-Tourist Card is single-entry, valid 3 months (90 days), and allows a maximum stay of 90 days. Applications are handled exclusively through VFS Global, the official Government of Suriname partner, and are normally processed within about 72 hours. Because this is a mandatory, paid, pre-arrival online travel authorization (not a visa-free walk-in and not a true visa-on-arrival), it is best classified as an eVisa-type requirement. Passports must be valid at least 6 months from the date of entry. Travelers should apply only on the official portal (suriname.vfsevisa.com) and avoid third-party resellers that charge inflated service fees.
