Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

1. Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://suriname.vfsevisa.com — Surinamese government e-Visa portal (recommended for Nepali tourists / business travellers) · https://surinameembassy.in — Embassy of Suriname New Delhi (sticker visa, Tourist Card, long-stay residence) · https://www.gov.sr — Government of Suriname portal (visa policy)).
2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at e-Visa portal (preferred for Nepalis) OR Embassy of Suriname New Delhi (sticker visa for long-stay) or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
