The Aruba ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation) is a mandatory requirement for all individuals, including infants and children, entering Aruba. It is necessary to complete and obtain approval for this document. To access the official ED Card page, kindly use the following official link. There is a $20 charge per passenger (see sustainability fee below).
It is important to note that some other websites may charge a fee to assist you with this form-filling process. These websites are not affiliated with Aruba's official immigration services. You can fill in the ED-Card within the 7 days before your travel to Aruba.
Starting July 1, 2024, Aruba implemented a $20 sustainability fee for visitors arriving by air. The fee currently supports several efforts across the island, including critical infrastructure enhancements. Learn more here.
Make sure you are packed for success and bring important travel documents and other must-haves like prescription drugs, mineral-based sunscreen, a reusable water bottle and travel insurance. If you're going to run out of specific medicine while on your trip here, it's best to just bring extra with you, since we cannot guarantee our pharmacies carry your exact medicatoin.

To avoid long lines at domestic and international security screening points, you can enroll in Global Entry (for US travelers only). Travelers must be pre-approved. Make sure to start the application process well ahead of time, as this includes an in-person interview and rigid background checks. Find the Global Entry application form here
There are import requirements for pets (dogs and cats) from the United States of America to Aruba. Learn more here.
In light of the continued global increase in measles cases, the Department of Public Health Aruba (DVG) aims to take a proactive approach to support the early identification of potential imported cases and help prevent the spread of measles on the island. More info can be found here.
Before you arrive, take a moment to learn about the Aruba Promise [insert hyperlink to Aruba Promise]. It invites visitors to think of themselves not just as tourists, but as guests of our island.
