Aruba ED-Card, also known as Aruba's Official Embarkation-Disembarkation Card, is an online form that all visitors to Aruba must now complete before arriving or leaving the country.
The implementation of the ED program in Aruba aimed to facilitate travel to Aruba for a number of travelers from all over the world. The online system gathers all essential information about visitors arriving and leaving Aruba. Previously, the Aruba embarkation card had to be completed in paper form, but now the system is fully digitalized.
All non-resident travelers, including visa-required nationals, are now obliged to obtain an online travel qualification using the online system.
Filling out the ED Card does not mean that a traveler is guaranteed entry to Aruba. It only functions as a pre-qualification to travel to Aruba and makes a traveler eligible to board a flight to Aruba. The respective Aruban authorities are entitled to on-arrival screening and interviews to determine whether a traveler is admissible to the country.
Completing the Aruba ED Card requires acknowledgment of legal disclaimers. All travelers must agree they will not make any false or fraudulent statements in the online application. Providing false information is subject to penalties and may constitute a violation of the Aruban criminal code.
The Aruba ED Card must be completed by every international visitor to Aruba as well as Aruban residents. Failure to obtain this document may result in entry denial.
Grab your smartphone or any other Internet-accessed electronic device and sit back in your chair. Next, go to the online application form and follow these few intuitive steps:
Please note that you must be within the 7-day period of your departure to be able to submit the ED Card. You can submit your form earlier, and we will process it in a timely manner. All the time, you need to have all the necessary travel details to successfully complete the application form.
Passengers only transiting through Aruba are exempt from filling out the online ED-Card for Aruba.
Nevertheless, this exemption does not apply to transit passengers who will clear immigration - they must complete the ED Card before the planned travel..
Depending on individual circumstances, travelers may need to meet different entry requirements. Nevertheless, you should prepare the following documents:

No. The online ED Card is not the same as an Aruban visa, and the card does not guarantee entry to Aruba. The ED card is an online alternative to the regular Embarkation and Disembarkation card, which is a request to enter Aruba as a tourist. Travelers who are nationals of non-visa-exempt countries may also need to apply for a visa apart from completing the Aruba entry form.
The online application for the Aruba ED Card can be completed no earlier than 7 days before the intended arrival in Aruba. Do remember that the card should be completed once you already have all the necessary travel details, including flight information. Therefore, do not submit the form if you do not have all the required details of your travel.
Go to the online form and provide passport details and travel-related information. Answer health questions and accept and acknowledge all disclaimers. Review your application and, after making sure that all details were provided correctly, cover the processing fee. The confirmation will be sent to you via email.

The online ED Card is valid from the moment the online registration is completed until the traveler has been granted permission to enter Aruba and until the given flight has arrived in Aruba. The new ED Card covers only one trip, so any time you wish to re-enter Aruba, you should complete a new entry form.
