How much does the Immigration and Customs Form (ICF) cost?

It's free on the official government site, icf.sr. Websites that charge a fee for it are not the official one.

Is the Immigration and Customs Form (ICF) the same as an arrival card or entry form?

Yes. Countries use different names for the same thing: arrival card, arrival form, entry form, immigration card, landing card, ED (embarkation and disembarkation) card, customs declaration. For Suriname, the official name is the Immigration and Customs Form (ICF).

Do I still need a visa for Suriname?

An arrival form is not a visa. Whether you need a visa or an electronic travel authorization depends on your nationality, so check Suriname's official immigration website or your own government's travel advice.
