Visitors
from most countries other than the Caribbean Community need visas. Apply
for a two-month, multiple-entry-traveler visa, which costs as much as
the usual two month, valid-tourist-visa. Costs vary as per country of
residence.

Necessities
- Documents:
Passport with a visa, ticket, drivers license, 2 passport photos for
the Alien Registration Bureau, insurance papers and, if necessary for
neighbouring countries, proof of vaccination. Make a copy of your passport
and ticket in case you lose them. Leave a copy behind with somebody
staying at home.
- Clothing:
Cotton summer clothes, preferable light colours because these reflect
the rays of the sun whilst darker clothing hold the warmth and also
attract mosquitoes. A cap/hat, shirt/blouse with long sleeves and long
trousers to protect against burning in the sun.
- Shoes:
Sandals or light walking shoes and canvas ankle boots with a rubber
sole for travelling in the boat. For jungle trips leather mountain boots
are too heavy and will make your feet sweat and they also take too long
to dry. Sneakers, sport shoes and flip-flops, in many varieties, are
sold in Paramaribo. Flip-flops are best worn at home.
- Medicines:
Tablets for diarrhoea, plasters, iodine, water purifying tablets, a
needle or tweezers to remove splinters, mosquito repellent, pain killers
and eventually condoms. If you are on medication (i.e. insulin) take
enough with you for the duration of your stay, this will save you a
lot of time searching for medication in all the pharmacists in Paramaribo.
- Toiletries
including a good sun cream or oil.
- Also
handy are a pair of sun glasses, a torch (with extra batteries), binoculars,
knife, bicycle tire repair kit and earplugs.
