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.

When Can I fill out my ED Card?

How we’re different

We’ll plant a tree for every product sold. Our vision is to support communities and the environment by offering services to the public. For every product sold, we’ll plant a tree. 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. This is also in opposition to greedy international corporations, whose only concern is shareholder profit.

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

We hope that, by succeeding, we can have a future that we hope for, not dread.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Aruba, and we’re here to make that happen. Let us help you obtain your Aruba ED-Card hassle-free, so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
