Question 1

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم A short-stay Caribbean visa, unless you qualify for an exemption؟

Accepted Answer

If your nationality is not on the Kingdom of the Netherlands' visa-exemption regulation (the one Curaçao's Admission Office points to; the text is in Dutch), you need a visa. The regulation also exempts you if you hold a valid multiple-entry short-stay Schengen visa, or a valid multiple-entry visa for the United Kingdom or Ireland, or a valid residence permit for the Schengen area, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Ireland (or one for at least six months for a Caribbean part of the Kingdom, or for French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Mayotte or Réunion). If you are a national of Bolivia, China, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, India or Venezuela, a valid multiple-entry US or Canada visa also exempts you for Curaçao. Cruise passengers who stay no more than 48 hours on the island, and air passengers in transit (with a special condition for Haitian nationals), are covered too. Check the regulation's wording before you rely on one of these.

Question 2

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Completed and signed Caribbean visa application form؟

Accepted Answer

Print the form, sign it, and bring it with your other documents (original).

Question 3

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Passport photo to Dutch requirements؟

Accepted Answer

A colour photo no more than 6 months old, 3.5 cm by 4.5 cm, on a white or light-coloured background. If you apply through an external service provider you don't bring a photo, because a digital one is taken at the appointment.

Question 4

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Proof of legal residence in the country where you apply؟

Accepted Answer

For example a passport or other travel document, a residence permit (valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom), a visa or a work permit. Bring the original and a colour copy. If you don't live in the country where you apply, you must show why you can't apply in your country of residence.

Question 5

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Valid travel document؟

Accepted Answer

Your passport must be no more than 10 years old, have at least 2 empty visa pages, be valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, and carry your signature. Bring the original.

Question 6

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Proof of who pays for your travel and stay؟

Accepted Answer

You must show who pays for your international travel and your stay. If you pay yourself, bring your bank statements for the previous 3 months and, if you are employed, 3 recent payslips (colour copies). The checklist does not give a minimum amount.

Question 7

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Visa application fee؟

Accepted Answer

A fee is charged when you apply, and it is not refunded if the application is rejected as incomplete. This checklist page gives no amount, so ask the mission where you apply.

Question 8

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Be ready to show your purpose, length of stay and money at the border؟

Accepted Answer

Curaçao's Admission Office says a visa is not the only requirement for admission, and that on entry a tourist must show the purpose of the visit, the duration of the stay and the financial resources for it. Officers check against the admission rules and do not admit foreign nationals who don't meet them.

Question 9

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Proof of where you will stay؟

Accepted Answer

A hotel reservation or rental agreement for the whole trip, or proof that you own a home or other immovable property in the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom. Bring a colour copy.

Question 10

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Travel medical insurance؟

Accepted Answer

Proof of insurance in your name. It must cover all the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom for your whole stay and at least USD 15,000 of medical costs, including a hospital stay and treatment, emergency care, prescription medication, and repatriation to your country of residence (including if you die). Bring a colour copy.

Question 11

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Proof of social or economic ties to the country where you live؟

Accepted Answer

Employed: a recent statement from your employer with your job title, contract length and salary (or a certificate of employment), plus bank statements or payslips from the previous 3 months. Self-employed: a business permit or a copy of your income tax return, plus 3 months of bank statements. Student: proof of enrolment that states your field of study and the length of the programme. Otherwise you can use, for example, proof that you are a caregiver, that you own a home or other immovable property, or that your children go to school there. Bring a colour copy.

Question 12

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Apply in person at a Kingdom of the Netherlands embassy or consulate؟

Accepted Answer

Curaçao's Admission Office says the application must be submitted in person at an embassy or consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands or, where there is one, its external service provider. Ask the mission in your country about opening hours and appointments; the page sends you to the Netherlands foreign ministry's website for the addresses.

Question 13

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Embarkation and Disembarkation (ED) card, preferably online؟

Accepted Answer

Curaçao's Admission Office says it is mandatory to fully and truthfully complete an ED card and hand it over on arrival and on departure, that the digital version is preferred, and that it can be filled in at home before your flight at www.dicardcuracao.com, which shortens your time in the immigration line. The page was last updated in August 2023, so check the site for the current rules (for example how early you can submit it).

Question 14

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Get the visa before you travel؟

Accepted Answer

Curaçao's Admission Office says people with a visa requirement must request and obtain the visa before travelling to Curaçao. The visa must at least be valid on entry. A visa that is not territorially limited is valid for all the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom; one marked as territorially limited is valid only for the country named as your main destination. The page adds that a visa does not entitle you to access and admission, it is one of the requirements for them.

Question 15

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Reservation for your travel to and from the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom؟

Accepted Answer

A reservation in your name, or another document showing your travel plans. You don't need a paid ticket. Bring a colour copy.

Question 16

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Attend the appointment prepared, and sign the declaration؟

Accepted Answer

The Netherlands foreign ministry's checklist says that in most cases you must apply in person, babies and children too. At the appointment you sign a declaration that you understand you must hand in all the documents for your application to be processed, and that an incomplete application may be rejected without a refund of the fee. The ministry may ask for an interview or for more documents.

Question 17

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم If you're under 18 and travel without one or both parents or guardians: consent and family documents؟

Accepted Answer

The ministry's checklist asks for a recent extract of the child's birth certificate (original and colour copy) and a consent form signed by the parent or guardian who is not travelling. It also asks for colour copies of that parent's or guardian's signed, valid travel document; if one of them holds a valid Caribbean visa, the data pages of their passport and visa; a death certificate if a parent has died; proof of guardianship if a guardian was appointed; and permission from the court if a court order is in place. Children under 18 also apply in person.
