What the Suriname visa rules mean for Ghana travellers
Ghana passport holders need an eVisa to enter Suriname. You apply online, upload a passport scan and a photo, pay the fee and receive the visa by email; it allows stays of up to 90 days. Apply at least one to two weeks before your trip and print the approval — some airlines and border officers ask to see it on paper.
The main option is the Tourist Visa (3 Months), which costs 60 USD. Suriname also offers Business eVisa — see the visa options above.
