Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

A completed and signed Caribbean visa application form, printed and handed in with your other documents.

Question 2

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Passport that meets the Kingdom's requirements؟

Accepted Answer

A valid travel document, such as a passport, that is no more than 10 years old, has at least 2 empty visa pages, is valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, and bears your signature. Bring the original.

Question 3

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Photo that meets Dutch requirements؟

Accepted Answer

A colour photo no more than 6 months old with 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 your appointment.

Question 4

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Proof you legally live in the country where you apply؟

Accepted Answer

Valid proof of legal residence where you are applying, for example your passport or other travel document, a residence permit (valid 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 If asked at the border: accommodation and money؟

Accepted Answer

If the immigration officer asks, you must be able to prove a valid reservation for accommodation in Aruba (such as a hotel or apartment) or that you own property there, and show enough money for hotel and living costs, or a declaration of guarantee from a legal resident of Aruba. The officer at the border or port of entry makes the final decision and can refuse admission, and holding a visa does not guarantee entry.

Question 6

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Sustainability fee (US$20 for most visitors arriving by air)؟

Accepted Answer

The Aruba Tourism Authority says that since July 2024 visitors arriving by air pay a US$20 sustainability fee, paid through the Online ED Card. It points to a separate page for who is exempt, and that page was not read for this check.

Question 7

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Visa fee؟

Accepted Answer

You pay a fee when you apply at a Dutch embassy or consulate-general, and an external service provider adds its own service fee. The Kingdom's visa pages send you to its consular fees page for the amount; that page was not read for this check, so no amount is given here.

Question 8

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Who pays for your travel and stay؟

Accepted Answer

A colour copy of documents showing who pays your international travel and your costs of stay in the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom. If you pay yourself, your bank statements for the previous 3 months and, if you are employed, 3 recent payslips.

Question 9

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Declaration of guarantee if you stay with someone or attend a sports event؟

Accepted Answer

The Aruba Tourism Authority says a visa applicant needs a declaration of guarantee or invitation if they were invited to a sports event by an organisation in Aruba, or will stay at the home of a relative or acquaintance. The host or organisation declares it will cover the costs that can arise from your stay and sends the declaration to you; the form and instructions are provided by Aruba's immigration service (IASA). Having it doesn't mean the visa will be issued.

Question 10

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Proof of where you will stay؟

Accepted Answer

A colour copy of 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.

Question 11

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Travel medical insurance؟

Accepted Answer

A colour copy of travel medical insurance in your name. It must cover all the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom for your whole stay and at least 15,000 US dollars of medical costs, including hospital stay and treatment, emergency care, prescription medication and repatriation to your country of residence (including in the event of death).

Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

A colour copy of documents showing your ties to the country where you live. If you are employed: a recent statement from your employer with your job title, contract duration and salary (or a certificate of employment), plus bank statements or payslips from the previous 3 months. If you are self-employed: a business permit or a copy of your income tax return, plus 3 months of bank statements. If you are a student: proof of enrolment stating your area of study and the programme's duration. Otherwise, for example, proof that you are a caregiver, own a home or other immovable property, or have children in school there.

Question 13

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Apply for a Caribbean visa at a Kingdom of the Netherlands embassy or consulate؟

Accepted Answer

Aruba uses the Kingdom of the Netherlands' short-stay Caribbean visa, and Aruba's own government (DIMAS) tells visitors to apply through the Kingdom's embassies and consulates and its NetherlandsWorldwide pages. If your nationality isn't on the visa-free list for Aruba and none of the exceptions in the next item applies, you must apply before you travel, in person, at a Netherlands embassy or consulate (or a designated service provider). The visa is valid for the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, not just Aruba, unless it is marked T.B.G.V., which means it is valid only for the country named as the main destination. Aruba's immigration officer at the border still decides whether you are admitted.

Question 14

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Apply in person, up to 3 months ahead؟

Accepted Answer

You must submit the application in person, children under 18 included, and sign a statement that you understand an incomplete application may be rejected and the fee not refunded. The Kingdom's country pages for India, Egypt and China say you can apply from 3 months before you travel and usually hear within 15 calendar days; the page for each country can differ, so read the one for the country you live in. The Ministry may ask for an interview or more documents.

Question 15

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Aruba Online ED Card (every visitor, with or without a visa)؟

Accepted Answer

All visitors, including visa-exempt travellers, must complete Aruba's Online Embarkation/Disembarkation (ED) card before arriving; if you need a visa you need both. It is not a visa and doesn't guarantee entry. You need a valid passport, a valid email address, your travel details and a valid credit card (Visa, Mastercard or Discover), and each person, children included, fills in their own form. The passport you show on arrival must match the one on the form. The form is on Aruba's government site, edcardaruba.aw.

Question 16

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم How long you can stay, and no paid work؟

Accepted Answer

Aruba's own ED-card site defines a tourist as someone staying no more than 30 consecutive days who does not do paid work for a resident or company in Aruba, and says a tourist's days cannot exceed 180 a year. The Aruba Tourism Authority gives 30 days as the maximum first admission, with extensions possible, and says staying longer than the days granted without asking for an extension can have negative consequences for future admission. The Kingdom's pages give other figures: a visa for Aruba states how long you can stay, up to a maximum of 180 consecutive days within a 365-day period, and visa-free travellers get 90 days in any 180 (180 days for Dutch, US and other Schengen nationals). The sources differ, so confirm your permitted stay when you arrive.

Question 17

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Travel reservation؟

Accepted Answer

A colour copy of a reservation in your name for travel to and from the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, or another document showing your travel plans. You don't need a paid ticket.

Question 18

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Valid return or onward ticket, and a passport valid for your stay؟

Accepted Answer

Aruba's list of entry requirements for visitors: a passport valid on entry and for the whole stay, a visa sticker in it if your passport is from a visa-required country, a completed online ED card and a valid return or onward ticket.

Question 19

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم When you don't need a visa even though your nationality is not visa-free؟

Accepted Answer

Main exceptions on the Kingdom's page: you don't need a visa if you hold a valid residence permit for another part of the Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland or a Schengen country; a valid multiple-entry Schengen, UK or Irish visa; or, if you are a national of Bolivia, China, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, India, Jamaica or Venezuela, a valid multiple-entry US or Canadian visa (an ESTA does not count). Airport transit in Aruba between 07:00 and 23:00 without leaving the transit zone, and cruise passengers whose stay in port is no more than 24 hours, also need no visa. Jamaicans are visa-free for Curacao only, not Aruba. The Aruba Tourism Authority's page also lists children under 12 travelling with a parent or guardian as exempt; the Kingdom's page does not, so confirm with the embassy before relying on it.

Question 20

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم If a child is travelling without one or both parents: extra documents؟

Accepted Answer

For a child under 18 travelling without one or both parents or guardians, the Kingdom's checklist asks for a recent extract of the child's birth certificate and a consent form signed by the parent or guardian who isn't travelling (original and colour copy), plus a colour copy of that parent's signed, valid passport. Depending on the family situation it also asks for the passport and Caribbean visa data pages of a parent who has a valid Caribbean visa, a death certificate, proof of guardianship, or court permission to travel.

Question 21

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم The Kingdom's general entry conditions, with or without a visa؟

Accepted Answer

The Kingdom's page for the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom lists conditions for everyone, visa or not: a passport issued no more than 10 years ago and valid for the whole stay; proof you can return to your country of departure or travel on; proof of the reason for your stay (such as a hotel reservation or an invitation); enough money (between 150 and 200 US dollars per person per day in a hotel, 100 US dollars per person per day with family, or a sponsor who takes financial responsibility); medical or travel insurance covering at least 15,000 US dollars; and not being considered a threat to public order, public health, national security or international relations. Aruba's own list of entry requirements (above) does not mention insurance or these amounts, so they are not marked mandatory here. The local authorities can still refuse entry or allow a shorter stay.

Question 22

هل أحتاج إلى تقديم Yellow fever certificate if you arrive from an affected country؟

Accepted Answer

The Aruba Tourism Authority says Aruba's Ministry of Health requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate (ICVP) from passengers arriving from endemic areas, which it describes as Central American, Latin American and African high-risk countries. It links a separate list of countries that was not read for this check.
