There are several companies on the island that you can pay that will do the leg work to assist with residency. There are alot of requirements and documents needed and the process will cost you approx. 1100.00 dollars 1st yr. and you have to renew yearly for approx. 100. After ten years of renewal you will not have to renew and have permant residency. They do require that you show enough income / have min. $$ in bank accounts from outside aruba and some of the money from the 1100 is held in escrow account in your name and will be used for flight and other costs if you are deported from island. After the ten years you will get some of this money back. One of the good things about residency is that you can ship one time only one car, sport vessel, household belongings duty free as long as they are 6 months old.
