What is an Aruba ED Card?

The Aruba ED card is a document that grants pre-authorization for entry into Aruba. It is an important requirement for anyone planning to visit the country. Also known as the Embarkation and Disembarkation Card, it’s an electronic registration system that the Aruban government requires visitors to use. The ED-Card is an online form that collects essential information from visitors, such as personal details, travel information, and purpose of visit.

As per the State Decree of Admittance AB 2009 no. 59, all travelers visiting Aruba are required to obtain an online ED card. This is mandatory for all non-resident travelers, including those from visa-required countries. The online travel qualification must be obtained through this system before boarding permission is granted.

Who needs an Aruba ED Card?

If you are planning to travel to Aruba and stay for more than 24 hours, it is mandatory to complete the Aruba ED-Card. This applies to all travelers, including residents of Aruba and those from visa-required countries. It is important to note that even babies and children must have an ED-Card.

Is the Aruba ED Card a visa?

It’s important to note that the Aruba ED card is not a visa and cannot be used as a replacement for a visa. If your nationality requires a visa, you will need to visit an embassy or consulate. Here is a map that displays the countries that require a visa to enter Aruba.

We do this with local help to support local economies and communities. This is in opposition to mass-tourism, which sucks the soul out of destinations.

We do this with the help of One Tree Planted. A portion of every purchase goes to a reforestation or urban forestry project.
