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.

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.

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.

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.
