Aruba ED-Card Online Application

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:

• Complete the ED Aruba form: Provide all required details, including personal data and travel-related details, answer health questions, and accept all disclaimers and acknowledge statements.
• Cover the processing fee: After double-checking all the provided data use one of the available methods of online payment and cover the fee.
• Receive your ED Card confirmation: Refresh your email inbox and download the confirmation of your approved card.

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..

• a valid visa (if coming from a visa-required country)
• a valid return/onward ticket

Important: The final decision on whether a traveler may enter Aruba remains at the total discretion of immigration authorities at the border crossing or port of entry. Admission to the country can be refused if not entry requirements are fulfilled by a traveler.
