It's easy, quickly done, the menu is well structured. I only would recoomend to give a hint, that you can choose "other" if you don't find your hotel in the list.
Questions were answered and easy corrections all around easy navigating through the process.
I love this website as it allows me to move through the visa process with ease. I can find the information I need and all the visas that I have purchased to date from this site have been affordable.
If there is an area that, I believe, could be improved upon would be access to a live representative. I was after 3 days, with several phone call attempts, able to speak to a representative. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, pleasant, and reassuring to me that everything would be handled in a timely manner.
Application is easy, convenient, with no complications. Service was precise on delivery and very reliable
Easy to use, quick response, safe and a good app for telephone use
How easy the process was. I was in a panic because this was last minute and the service saved me by allowing me to board my flight on time.
Easy and very quick response. Less than 24 hours I received the entry forms.
I was charged to receive the digital immigration card when you can receive your digital immigration card completely free of charge.
Why was I charged $157.70 for two ED cards when they are supposed to be free? I want a total refund now.
Curacao visa FAQs
Quick answers for Dutch citizens traveling to Curacao.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do Dutch citizens need a visa to visit Curacao for holidays or business?
No. Dutch passport holders are completely visa-exempt. Because Curacao is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Dutch nationals enjoy a much longer visa-free stay than standard foreign tourists, allowing them to remain on the island for up to 180 consecutive days within a 365-day period.
What visa or permit do Dutch citizens need if they want to move permanently to Curacao?
If you intend to relocate, retire, or live in Curacao indefinitely, you don't apply for a standard foreigner's visa. Instead, Dutch citizens must apply for a Declaration of Lawful Admission (Verklaring van Rechtswege) through the Curacao Admission Office (Toelatingsorganisatie). Thanks to Kingdom regulations, this process is shorter and less restrictive than the residency process for non-Dutch nationals.
Can Dutch citizens legally work under the 180-day visa exemption?
No. The 180-day visa exemption is strictly for tourism, family visits, or basic business visitor activities (such as attending meetings or conferences). You cannot take up local employment or provide services to a local entity under this tourist status. To work legally, your local employer must secure a work permit, or you must obtain your Verklaring van Rechtswege.
Does the mandatory Curacao Digital Immigration Card function as an entry visa?
No. The Digital Immigration Card is an electronic border-clearance declaration, not a visa. Every traveler, including visa-exempt Dutch citizens, must complete it online within 7 days before departure. It's entirely free and generates a digital confirmation that is required to board your flight and pass through immigration gates.
What are the immigration penalties if a Dutch citizen overstays the 180-day limit?
Overstaying the 180-day limit is a serious immigration violation. Even as a Kingdom national, if you stay longer without an approved extension or a pending Verklaring van Rechtswege application, you'll face progressive financial fines upon departure, potential detention, and deportation by local immigration authorities.
