Long weekends in Suriname, 2026

7 runs of three days or more, including the ones you only get by taking a single bridge day off. Computed on a Monday–Friday week. The corpus holds Sunday as this jurisdiction’s statutory weekly rest — verified — but a labour code names the day it guarantees, not the days custom adds, so it is cited above rather than computed from.

How we know this

Every layer this corpus carries, whether it exists for Suriname, how many records, how each is graded and when it was last looked at. The record rather than the data — enough to check a claim before relying on it.

Not held for Suriname: Optional and restricted days, Half-days and partial closures, Bank-only closures, Observed but open, School terms and breaks, Subdivision calendars, Exchange closures, Tax deadlines, School terms and breaks. A gap is ours, not a statement about the place — it means nobody here has read an instrument for it yet.

2 named documents, issued by 2 bodies, stand behind these rows. Every date is traceable to one of them:

Republiek Suriname — Staatsblad van de Republiek Suriname, no. 21 (2012) Republiek Suriname — Staatsblad van de Republiek Suriname, no. 27 (2021)

Global Operating Calendar

Suriname beside every other market you work in — the weeks that work everywhere, where office hours overlap, and which dates are estimates rather than facts.

Open the Operating Calendar

The same dossier exists for all 241 jurisdictions, priced by depth rather than by which country it is — browse the dossiers.

We do not promise a calendar that never changes. Dates move: authorities declare holidays at short notice and publish corrections of their own. Every record here shows what stands behind it, and when a date changes we correct it, publish it, and tell the people it affects.
