Visa requirements

Happy Wednesday, 


You’ve reached the support channel of the Aruba Tourism Authority


The need for a Visa depends on your nationality and your length of stay on island. 

​

As per information we have on file from the Immigrations Department on island:

The following travelers, who normally require a visa, are exempt from this requirement:

  1. holders of a valid residence permit (temporary or permanent) from:
    1. Another part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands;
    2. The United States of America;
    3. Canada
    4. The Schengen Territory
    5. United Kingdom
    6. Ireland

 

The visa is valid for the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, not just Aruba. Unless the “valid for” visa has the abbreviation T.B.G.V. state. This means territorial limited valid visa. Then your visa is valid only for the country designated as the main destination.

Not eligible for a waiver of visa requirement? Then you must apply for a visa. This is done before traveling to Aruba. You personally request the visa at an embassy or consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands or a designated EDV. More information can be obtained from the embassy or consulate. You will find the contact details on the website: https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/travelling-to-the-netherlands-or-the-caribbean-part-of-the-kingdom

Should you have any additional questions regarding the Visa, please do reach out directly to the Government of the Netherlands at https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/contact. They will be better able to assist you with this. 

Wishing you a sunny week ahead
