Limits of the record
  • No official text states financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance obligations specific to Co-Permanent Residence; the general residence-permit document list (incl. proof of means) is cited by protected answers of other vias and is not stated for this permit.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The immigrant applying for Co-Permanent Residence needs to have a residence permit. Those married to a Surinamese national are listed among immigrants who do not need a work permit, and immigrants married to a Surinamese national for a minimum of 2 years and granted a residence permit for at least 2 years can apply to the Ministry of Justice and Police for Surinamese nationality. The official source does not state the duration, renewal or rights of the Co-Permanent Residence permit itself.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The duration, renewal and rights of the Co-Permanent Residence permit itself are not stated.
  • The work-permit exemption and nationality route are stated for spouses of Surinamese nationals; nothing equivalent is stated for spouses of permanent-residence holders.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
