What the Suriname visa rules mean for Ecuador travellers
Ecuador citizens do not need a full visa for Suriname, but they must obtain an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) online before they fly — valid for stays of up to 90 days. An eTA is linked to your passport number and is usually approved within minutes to a few days; airlines check it at check-in, so apply before you book non-refundable travel.
The main option is the Suriname Entry Fee (single entry), which costs 50 USD. Suriname also offers Suriname Entry Fee (multiple entry) and Business eVisa — see the visa options above.
