Suriname - Foreign Exchange Controls Suriname - Foreign Exchange
The Foreign Exchange Commission approves the transfer of any funds associated with a business or investment out of Suriname. The delay period varies for remitting investment returns such as dividends, return of capital, interest, principal on private foreign debt, lease payments, royalties, and management fees. Permission must first be obtained from the Foreign Exchange Commission, and the time needed to process the request depends on the sector and the amount to be transferred. Transfers through the banking system range from same-day to one-week transfers. A source of origin must be declared in cases where the incoming or outgoing amount exceeds USD 5,000 or € 5,000. No limitation exists on the inflow or outflow of funds.
