The Aruba ED Card is our most popular travel document for this destination. We’ll guide you through any unclear questions during the application process.            
              The Aruba ED Card system is quick and easy, but your details must be correct and complete.
Don’t worry – we review your whole application to catch anything that might cause delays. One of our experts checks everything for errors or missing information to make sure it’s ready to go.            
We’re not the Aruba government, but we submit your application to them and are here for you along the way if there are any problems.
              We’ll email the approved PDF and tell you how to use it at airline check-in and immigration.

Aruba’s One Happy Workation program allows remote workers, especially from the US, Canada, the UK, and Schengen countries, to live and work remotely in Aruba for up to 90 days without needing a traditional work visa.
You’ll need a valid passport, return ticket, proof of remote employment, travel insurance, and at least $5,000 in available funds. You can’t work for Aruba companies, and extensions beyond 90 days aren’t allowed under this scheme. The program includes access to discounted stays and doesn’t require extra paperwork beyond the standard ED Card and $20 tourism fee.

      Most travelers from visa-exempt countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, EU member states, and much of Latin America and the Caribbean, can stay in Aruba without a visa for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
Nationals from countries that do require a visa must apply for a Caribbean Short-Stay Visa through a Dutch embassy or consulate, which permits visits to Aruba and other Dutch Caribbean islands for up to 90 days.
Additionally, travelers holding a valid multi-entry visa or residence permit for the US, Canada, the Schengen Area, or the UK are often allowed visa-free entry, even if their nationality typically requires a visa.
All travelers must complete the Aruba ED Card online within 7 days before travel. This digital document includes a health declaration and a mandatory $20 sustainability fee, and it’s required to board your flight and enter the country.

Extensions up to 180 days per calendar year are possible with approval from Aruba’s immigration authority, DIMAS.

However, you must complete the Aruba ED Card online before you travel.
If you're from a country that requires a visa, or you don’t hold a qualifying residence permit or valid multi-entry visa for the U.S., Canada, Schengen, or UK, you’ll need to apply for the Caribbean Short-Stay Visa at a Dutch embassy or consulate.
For other visas, you’ll need to complete the application process on the government platform, pay the visa fee, and in some cases, schedule an interview at an Aruba embassy or consulate.
Supporting documents like your passport, photo, and purpose of travel are required.
However, some nationalities can work remotely for a non-Aruban company. Aruba’s One Happy Workation lets remote workers from eligible countries stay for up to 90 days without a visa. Just select “Workation” on the ED Card form before travel. You’ll need a valid passport, return ticket, proof of remote work, insurance, and $5,000 in funds. Local work isn’t allowed, and no extensions are offered.
We then send it to the government for processing on your behalf.
Once your visa is approved, we’ll then email you your document.
In the meantime, download the iVisa app, so you can access your travel documents while you're on the go.
