Passports & Visas for Aruba

Please review Aruba’s entry requirements to ensure a hassle-free experience upon arrival to our One Happy Island.

Aruba Airport

Visiting our beautiful island is easy. Travel to Aruba from the U.S., Canada, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean is possible via most major carriers, either non-stop or with convenient connections. When entering our country, a current passport is required of all passengers. American, Canadian, and EU citizens do not require visas, nor do most South Americans, e.g. Colombians and Venezuelans.

Do I need a visa to enter Aruba?

For a complete list of countries that require a visa to travel to Aruba please visit the "Government of the Netherlands" page. Some visitors to the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom (including Aruba) do not need a visa. This includes Dutch and US nationals, as well as nationals of the countries listed on this page

Good News for Global Entry Applicants!

Customs and Border Protection Aruba Preclearance is now a participant in the Global Entry on Arrival program. This program permits Global Entry applicants who are conditionally approved to complete their interviews while traveling to the United States from Aruba, eliminating the need for a Global Entry applicant to schedule an interview at an enrollment center in the United States.
