Entry rules for Suriname passport holders
Surinamese citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Iceland. Applications generally go through a Iceland embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Iceland immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

The Surinamese passport ranks #118 worldwide, opening 73 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (37 visa-free, 33 with a visa on arrival and 3 with an eTA). Iceland is not among them — it is one of the 85 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
The arrangement is reciprocal: Icelandic citizens traveling to Suriname face the same requirement (visa required).
Northern Europe is closed to spontaneous travel for Surinamese passport holders: none of its 10 destinations can be entered without an application first.
