On top of any visa, every traveler arriving by air must obtain a Sint Maarten ED Card (Electronic Embarkation-Disembarkation Card), a mandatory digital entry document for all foreign nationals regardless of visa status.

Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Sint Maarten travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.

  • The experience was very easy but I thought the visa documents would say our name and the approval. The document only shows the requirements for travel to Sint Maarten. Hopefully that is all we will need and this was my first time ever applying for a visa. The ex was very good and the service was excellent.
