r/Suriname

Am regretting so much as to why I didn't apply for Colombian evisa instead of Suriname. The ministry of foreign affairs isn't communicating and picking the calls up ,their customer care keeps saying they can't interfere even after I told them I applied this evisa last month Aug 27th a month and days ago and it should not be taking this long since they indicated on their website the process only takes 3 days .I wasted so much money on reserving hotel and flight ticket , visa fee ,health insurance, yellow fever card .I have never seen an evisa taking this long 😳 its either rejected or approved ,i don't know why they can't do that. Each time I call the customer service they keep saying I will be getting feedback soon .At this point they can just keep it .

Both my parents are from Suriname. Im from the Netherlands. They both speak sranan to each other, and to me. I understand basically everything as long as it isnt too "native" or something. My parents do mostly just speak Dutch to me, just sneak in a couple of sranan phrases.

I used to be able to speak it very well as a child, one time my family was in Sr it was the only language i spoke, but then corona happened and we went to suriname less, I also grew older and became ashamed and all.

Now I just feel bad because I have this thick ass Dutch accent everytime I try to speak sranan, and I got trouble making sentences. I also never learned how to read the language at all.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Asking because I hear so many things from my family, about women getting raped by men all the time and I want to visit my home there but the corruption in the police station and government is insane and I'm araid the police won't show up if there is something going on.

Hoi allemaal,

Ik heb een echt €50-biljet dat wat oud is en een paar vlekken heeft. Het biljet is verder gewoon heel: geen scheuren of andere beschadigingen.

Het probleem is dat winkels en cambio’s het niet willen aannemen vanwege de vlekken. Ik vermoed dat een bank misschien hetzelfde zal doen.

Weet iemand waar ik in Suriname zo’n biljet kan laten omwisselen voor een nieuw €50-biljet, of eventueel kan wisselen naar SRD?

Heeft iemand hier ervaring mee of weet iemand een plek die gevlekte/oude eurobiljetten accepteert?

So I've been scrolling around alibaba and the prices there really caught my attention(we'll ignore the shipping costs for later). But I'm skeptical whether I'll even receive the items once they get here, or even get over here in the first place. Secondly, how do the items get here? Do they just sent it to your house? Or is there like a delivery company is Su that handles it?

Could anyone explain it to me?
