Surinamese citizens πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡· Surinamese citizens Β· πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia Β· Tourist / Visitor # Australia tourist / visitor visa success rate for Surinamese citizens In the UK β€” the only government that publishes visa outcomes broken down by both nationality and visa type β€” 81.2% of Surinamese tourist visa applications were approved, down from 86.4% a year earlier, across 223 decisions in the year to March 2026. For Surinamese tourist applicants that is the only approval rate on record anywhere. Australia does not publish tourist decisions by nationality, so no Australia-specific rate exists for Suriname β€” and any site quoting one is estimating. Where Suriname does have published rates, they run at 85.7% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 87.9% across 21,197 Schengen short-stay decisions in 2025 β€” a wider picture of how Surinamese applications are treated, though neither is a tourist-visa figure. What Australia does document is the decision itself: officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the biggest single lever is return intent. On the money side: No official minimum. Show funds that credibly cover flights, accommodation and daily costs for your stay β€” steady bank statements beat a one-off deposit. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record against that. Last reviewed July 2026 per our [editorial standards](https://getvisaodds.com/editorial-standards). Source: [Australian Government β€” Department of Home Affairs ](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/visitor-600). How likely is a tourist visa to Australia for Surinamese citizens? Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. A typical applicant sees roughly 89%, and the biggest single lever is return intent. Published approval rates for Suriname run at 85.7% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 87.9% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025. [Estimate my personal odds](#estimate) Modelled estimate β€” not official 89% Modelled estimate, not a published statistic β€” no Surinamese-specific rate is published for this route. Derived from Australian Home Affairs visa grant data; see the methodology page for every parameter. Your personal odds can be much higher or lower β€” estimate them below. ## Estimate your personal odds Pre-filled for this route. A few taps and it’s done β€” privately, in your browser. ## Key requirements - Genuine intention to visit temporarily (tourism or visiting family/friends) - Enough money for your stay and onward travel β€” bank statements or payslips - Online application via ImmiAccount; \~AUD$200 charge (offshore Tourist stream, 2026) - Meet health and character requirements - Evidence of ties (work, studies, family, assets) supporting your return ### Visa fee (cost) AUD$200 for the offshore Visitor (600) Tourist stream (from 1 April 2026). ### Money & funds No official minimum. Show funds that credibly cover flights, accommodation and daily costs for your stay β€” steady bank statements beat a one-off deposit. ### Typical timeline Many Tourist-stream applications are decided within days to a few weeks, but times vary by country and season β€” check current processing times before booking. ## Common refusal reasons - Officer not satisfied you are a genuine visitor - Insufficient or poorly documented funds - Weak ties to your home country - Incomplete application or missing documents - Previous visa breaches or adverse immigration history ## Where Suriname sits in the official data Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Surinamese applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Suriname. ### UK tourist visas β€” year to March 2026 The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality _and_ visa type, so it is the one place a tourist-visa figure for Suriname actually exists. **18.8%** of Surinamese tourist applications were refused across 223 decisions , against 13.6% the year before. Different country, different rules β€” a reference point, not your odds here. ### US visitor visas β€” FY2025 A **14.3%** adjusted refusal rate places Suriname **48th of 199** nationalities the State Department publishes β€” a lower refusal rate than 76% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Suriname is 17.5 points below it. ### Schengen short-stay visas β€” 2025 Across all Schengen consulates in Suriname, **12.1%** of short-stay applications were not issued β€” **56th of 127** countries with a meaningful application volume, and 3.5 points below the 15.6% median. |Destination|Refused|Issued|Decided| |-|-|-|-| |France|5.8%|94.2%|342| |the Netherlands|12.2%|87.8%|20,855| Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Suriname were refused least often by France at 5.8% and most often by the Netherlands at 12.2% β€” a gap of 6.4 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights. Demand and outcome moved together for Suriname between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided **21,197** short-stay applications, against 20,411 the year before β€” up 3.9% β€” while the refusal rate went from 16.9% to 12.1%. That easing meant roughly 1,011 more applicants were issued a visa than 2024's rate would have produced.

Schengen figures are grouped by the country an application was lodged in, not by passport. ## What actually moves the needle ### Strong ties to home β€” a stable job, family, or property This is the heart of tourist decisions for Australia. Make it concrete and documented rather than assumed. ### Funds that clearly cover the whole trip Officers weigh this alongside everything else β€” gather clear evidence before you apply. ### A specific, time-limited plan with bookings Officers weigh this alongside everything else β€” gather clear evidence before you apply. ### Context for Suriname applicants Published approval rates for Suriname run at 85.7% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 87.9% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025. Your personal profile matters far more than any nationality-level pattern, so focus on the levers above. ### Avoid the common pitfall The most frequent reason this route fails is a vague itinerary or thin finances that make your return look uncertain. Address it directly and you remove the biggest doubt. ## Frequently asked questions Is there an official Australia tourist visa success rate for Surinamese citizens? Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Australia tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers β€” we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on. What matters most for an Australia tourist visa? Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible. Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances? Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time. Is this a guarantee of approval? No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better. Is my information private? Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored β€” there is no sign-up and nothing to leak. How much money do I need for an Australian visitor visa? There is no fixed amount. Show funds that comfortably cover your flights, stay and daily costs β€” recent bank statements with a steady balance plus evidence of income work best. How long can I stay on a subclass 600 visa? Grants are typically for 3, 6 or 12 months, decided by the officer. Longer stays draw more scrutiny of your funds and ties. Why are Australian visitor visas refused? Most refusals come down to the genuine-visitor test: weak ties, unclear funds, or an unconvincing purpose. Address those three and you remove most of the risk. Do I need travel insurance for Australia? It is not mandatory for the subclass 600, but Home Affairs recommends it, and it strengthens the impression of a well-planned, genuine visit. ## Explore related visa odds ### Other visas to Australia for Surinamese citizens -
