Curacao visa policy

Curaçao (part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) operates under its own Caribbean visa policy, which is separate from the Schengen Area. A Schengen visa does not grant entry to Curaçao, nor does a Caribbean visa grant access to the Schengen Area or the European part of the Netherlands.

Travelers from visa-required countries must obtain a short-stay Caribbean visa before arrival for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, family visits, or transit. Note that the maximum consecutive stay permitted specifically in Curaçao is 30 days. To extend a stay beyond 30 days (up to the 90-day maximum), travelers must apply to Curaçao's local admission authority after arrival.

All international visitors are required to complete the Digital Immigration Card (DI card) within 7 days before departure.

General Curaçao visa requirements are:

Passport valid for the entire duration of the stay and with at least 1 blank page
Proof of onward or return travel and accommodation details
Proof of sufficient financial means for the duration of the stay
Travel medical insurance

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.

How long does it take to get my Curaçao Immigration Card?

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.

However, visa-required nationals should apply for a short-stay Caribbean visa online.

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.

How do I apply for the Curaçao Immigration Card?

You can apply right here with iVisa or through the government platform. Fill out your travel details and upload your passport information, and we’ll handle the rest. Your approved form and QR code will be sent to your email.

Can I extend my stay in Curaçao beyond 90 days?

The maximum consecutive stay in Curaçao on a short-stay Caribbean visa is 30 days. If you want to stay between 30 and 90 days, you must apply to extend your visa after arrival through Curaçao's local admission authority (Toelatingsorganisatie).

If you want to stay in the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom for longer than 90 days, you will normally need a residence permit. There is one exception: Dutch and US nationals only need a residence permit if they wish to stay longer than 180 days, but still need to apply for an extension to stay after their initial 30 day-stay.

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.
