Leaving Suriname for French Guiana in 2012 the customs officer checked my TVIP very closely. He announced that I had overstayed the allowed time by 30 days. Turns out the person that prepared the TVIP when entering Suriname wrote, "10" for October when they should have written, "11" for November. I pointed out that my visa was in order as well as all the stamps and further that is wasn't a problem, only a typo...a mistake made by a Suriname official on the other side of the country. He agreed and stamped me out of the country. Never would have happened in Central America! I would surely have been made to pay a fee.
See if there is a bonded warehouse that can suspend your TVIP. I don't recall seeing vehicle storage facilities at Suriname borders like I have seen in other countries. I searched on Google for "bonded warehouse Suriname" and found a few results.
This port handbook is full of resources. I would call the warehouse services listed on the last page or two: https://issuu.com/landmarine/docs/ha...handbook_20/44
Best of luck
