SUBJECT: SURINAME SIGNS VISA WAIVER AGREEMENTS WITH GRENADA 
AND THE BAHAMAS 
 
1. (U) On July 5 Suriname signed a visa waiver agreement 
with the Bahamas and Grenada. Suriname had called for the 
signing of the agreements since January 2005, requesting 
visa waivers from the two Caricom states for officials 
traveling on diplomatic and service passports and for 
nationals for stays of less than 90 days. While Grenada has 
fully granted the request, waiving all visa requirements for 
Surinamese traveling to the island, the Bahamas waived visa 
requirements only for a period of up to 90 days, according 
to local press reports. 
 
2. (U) Grenada and the Bahamas were the only two Caricom 
countries that still required visas for Surinamese 
nationals. The signing of these agreements permits 
implementation of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, which 
provides for free movement of skilled community nationals 
between the Caricom nations.
