More Countries Face Potential U.S. Travel Ban: What You Need to Know Now

43. Suriname

Suriname, a small South American nation with complex migration dynamics, is reportedly on the radar due to concerns about document security and weak deportation cooperation. Its relatively open passport issuance system and limited biometric infrastructure make identity verification a challenge. In recent years, increased outbound migration—particularly to the U.S. via overland routes—has drawn attention. A U.S. travel ban would disrupt familial connections for Surinamese-Americans and damage Suriname’s efforts to modernize its institutions and expand diplomatic reach beyond its traditional Dutch-speaking allies.
