Has anyone had problems or issues with this?? Do I have to bring a bank statement along with me??

What does this pertain to? Are you buying a time share or something? You certainly don't have to have this just to take a vacation in Aruba.

Are you for real???

Have been there many time and never heard of such a thing.

if you are buying a home in Aruba,not just to vacation there,all you will need is a valid drivers liscence, birth certificate with a raised seal,as of Dec31,05 you will need a passport, hope this helps.

Unless you are planning on purchasing a home
and living there or staying longer than the
allowed visitor days you don't need to worry
about a bank statement of financial statements.

Yes, my understanding is that Proof of finances is now required to enter Aruba.

Too many people were trying to stay on the island as vagrants.

I had to show my tax return and latest bank statement and have them certified.

I just got back two weeks ago and didn't need anything like that.

This is the first time that I have heard of this. Sid when did you go to Aruba? I have friends that left on Sunday and they did not need any papers.

WHAT?!! I'm leaving on Friday and this is the first of heard of this. I don't travel with those types of documents (as I presume many people do not) and I'm not particularly allured with the thought of having that information so readily available for identity theft!

I think I'll do some more searching on these boards as I can't imagine having to carry financial statements to take a vacation!
