Entry tips for Suriname
- Local currency is Surinamese dollar (SRD) — carry a card that works abroad and some cash for arrival costs.
- Buy travel medical insurance that covers your whole stay.
- An eSIM bought before you fly means data as soon as you land — handy for showing bookings at immigration.
