1Overview
The Aruba ED (Embarkation-Disembarkation) Card is the online immigration form every traveler completes before flying to Aruba. It is a health and security declaration, not a visa.
It covers visits for leisure, sport, health, family, study, religious purposes or business.
Who needs it
- Every traveler arriving by air needs it, regardless of nationality or visa-exempt status; newborns and children each need their own card.
- Cruise passengers may not need one depending on whether they clear Aruban immigration; check with the cruise line.
- It does not replace a visa if your nationality requires one.
2Requirements
- PassportValid for the entire stay.
- Travel detailsFlight and accommodation details.
- Email addressA valid one.
Important to know
- A submitted card cannot be edited; a mistake means a new submission.
- Without an approved card the airline will likely deny boarding; complete it before check-in.
- The passport used at the border must match the one on the form.
- Each traveler needs an individual card; no batch submissions on the government form.
- The Sustainability Fee may be charged again within 365 days if the system does not recognise a repeat visitor.
