FAQs

How long is the Curaçao Immigration Card valid for?

The Immigration Card is valid for a single entry and should be submitted before every trip to Curaçao. It’s not reusable, even if you return within a short time.

We’ll process your Immigration Card as fast as our fastest speed — you’ll see the exact time during checkout. Most travelers receive it within a few hours after applying.

Do I need a visa to travel to Curaçao?

Many travelers do not need a visa. If you’re from the U.S., EU, UK, Canada, or other visa-exempt countries, you can stay in Curaçao for up to 90 days. U.S. and Dutch nationals can stay up to 180 days per calendar year without a visa.

What is the difference between the Curaçao Immigration Card and a Curaçao visa?

The Immigration Card is a required entry form that every air traveler must complete online. A visa, on the other hand, is a government-issued travel permit. You may need both depending on your nationality.

No. The Immigration Card is for tourism and short stays only. To work in Curaçao, you’ll need a work permit and residence authorization before entering the country.

Can I extend my stay in Curaçao beyond 90 days?

If you’re from a visa-exempt country, you can stay up to 90 days per 180-day period. Extensions are not guaranteed and must be requested through local immigration. U.S. and Dutch citizens are allowed 180 days total per calendar year without a visa.

What happens if I overstay my allowed time in Curaçao?

Overstaying can lead to fines, removal, or restrictions on future travel. You should leave before your allowed time ends or apply for the appropriate long-term permit.

Do I need the Immigration Card if I’m just transiting through Curaçao?

Yes, if you're entering the country or changing terminals. You may not need it if you stay in the international transit area. Always check with your airline to be sure.
