Aruba ED-Card Online

What is the Aruba ED-Card?

The Aruba ED-Card (Embarkation-Disembarkation Card) is an online form required from all travelers – both foreigners and locals. It was designed to help better monitor the visitors' flow and collect funds for sustainable tourism practices.

The ED-Card must be completed each time the traveler crosses the Aruban border (so for each arrival and departure).

To apply, they must fill out the online form with personal data, passport details, and travel plans. A confirmation will be delivered to the applicant's email address.

By applying for the ED-Card with Passporta, travelers can be sure their forms are carefully checked and processed by our experts.

On arrival to Aruba, visitors must undergo a screening process – only then will the authorities decide if they can enter the country.

IMPORTANT: The Aruba ED-Card is not a visa. Travelers who aren't visa-exempt must apply for a suitable entry permit beforehand to enter the country.
