Frequently asked questions about the Sint Maarten ED Card

Do I need a Sint Maarten ED Card if I already have a visa?

Yes. The ED Card is mandatory for every traveler entering or departing Sint Maarten by air, regardless of whether you hold a visa or are visa-exempt. Sint Maarten residents are exempt from having the ED Card. It’s an immigration requirement to streamline processing at Princess Juliana International Airport.

When should I complete the Sint Maarten ED Card?

You can complete the digital ED Card starting 7 days before your arrival. We recommend submitting it at least 24 hours before your flight to avoid any last-minute issues at check-in, as airlines may verify your confirmation before boarding.

Do children and infants need an ED Card?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have an individual ED Card. When traveling as a family, you must submit a separate form for each person. iVisa simplifies this by allowing you to add multiple travelers to a single application.

How will I receive my ED Card confirmation?

Once submitted and processed, you'll receive a confirmation email containing a QR code. You should save a digital copy on your mobile device as well as print it out. You’ll be required to present this confirmation to the airline and immigration officers upon arrival.

Do I need the Sint Maarten ED Card if I'm just transiting?

Yes. All passengers transferring through Princess Juliana International Airport must complete the ED Card. This applies even if you aren't leaving the airport or clearing immigration, as the local government requires the digital record for all transit passengers.

What are the most common reasons a Sint Maarten ED Card application is denied?

Most issues arise from typos in the passport number or providing an incomplete accommodation address. Ensure your hotel name or host's full address is entered correctly. iVisa’s expert review catches errors so that your application meets the government's standards before submission.
