Surely someone noticed that I wrote Senegal when I meant Suriname in my post above.....? How embarrassing.
You’re getting some good advice, but part of the deal is that stuff changes, sometimes without warning. Suddenly, no visa for Brazil, where it used to take at least a week and cost dearly. But you might arrive there and discover that visas are again required, for no apparent reason. Keep your ear to the ground and look for information on government websites—your own, or the country in question. Don’t bother calling embassies except in very special circumstances (the nature of which I, at least, can’t imagine).
French Guiana insurance can be evaded by getting EU Green Card insurance, even though it will probably exclude French overseas territories. Hardly anyone ever needs to know this, since it’s a bit off the tourist trail.
