Visa guidelines of Transit e-visa to Suriname

Suriname is a tiny South American nation on the northeastern coast. Suriname is a splendid combination of the Caribbean and South America, set in a natural tropical wilderness, with fascinating reminiscences of a sometimes turbulent past. Suriname is the only sovereign nation outside Europe where a majority of the population speaks Dutch. Surinamese people are among the world’s most diverse, covering a multitude of ethnic, religious, and linguistic groups. Many visitors visit Suriname for the biodiversity of the country’s southern Amazon rain forests, which are renowned for their flora and fauna. Suriname is one of the few countries in the world where it has been designated a wildlife sanctuary for at least one of every bio-me the state possesses. About 30 percent of Suriname’s total land area is covered as reserves by statute.
