Apply for your Aruba ED Card online

Yes. The ED Card is a mandatory entry requirement for every person entering Aruba, regardless of nationality or visa-exempt status (including US, Canadian, and EU citizens). It is a health and security declaration used by the Aruban government.

The ED Card is free, however, if you need help with completing it - iVisa experts can help fill out the form and review it for mistakes before submitting for an additional fee.

As of July 2024, most international visitors arriving by air must pay a $20 USD Sustainability Fee (at the time of writing). This fee supports the maintenance and protection of Aruba's natural environment. This is usually paid during the digital ED Card application process.

However, if you visit Aruba twice in one calendar year, you only pay the $20 fee on your first trip.

You will receive a PDF confirmation via email with a “green checkmark”. This document contains your approval status. You should save this on your mobile device or print a copy to show at check-in and to the Aruba Immigration officer.

You can also find a copy of your ED Card confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.

In Aruba, the length of your stay depends on your nationality and whether you own property on the island. Generally, for most tourists, the initial stay granted is 30 days, but this can be extended.

Standard stay limits:

• Most tourists: You are typically granted a stay of up to 30 days upon arrival.

• Dutch and US nationals: Citizens of the Netherlands and the United States are often permitted to stay for up to 180 days per year without a special permit, but generally receive 90 days upon arrival which can be extended for another 90 days.

• Property owners: If you own a home, condominium, or timeshare in Aruba (or a yacht at least 14 meters long), you can stay for up to 180 days.

You can apply as soon as you have your flight and accommodation details. However, the official government system accepts submissions starting 7 days before your arrival. We recommend applying at least 24–48 hours before your flight.

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual declaration and QR code.

You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

No. It is for single entry only. You must complete a new Aruba ED Card registration every time you enter the country.

You will likely be denied boarding by your airline. The Aruba ED Card is a "no-doc, no-fly" requirement. If you manage to arrive without it, you will be required to complete it at the airport using local Wi-Fi, which can lead to significant delays or issues with immigration.

You can still apply for your ED card at the airport if you have the stable Wi-Fi or internet on your smart device. iVisa also offers Super Rush services for those in a hurry.
