Official list of nationalities eligible to apply for an Aruba ED Card
The Aruba ED Card is available to nationals of specific countries who do not need a visa to visit Aruba. Whether you can apply depends on your nationality as shown on your passport. If your passport is issued by one of the countries listed below, you are required to obtain an ED Card before travelling to Aruba for tourism, business, transit, or short stays.
An Aruba ED Card is an entry requirement for nationals of visa-exempt countries travelling to Aruba. It is not a visa — it is a pre-travel permission linked electronically to your passport. An approved ED Card allows multiple short stays in Aruba of up to 6 months each, and is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
The ED Card is required for travel to Aruba, including transit through Aruba airports.
If you hold a passport from one of the 83 countries listed above and are travelling to Aruba for tourism, business, study (up to 6 months), or transit, you must obtain an ED Card before departure. Children and infants require their own ED Card. There are no exemptions based on age.
Residents with a valid Aruba visa or residence permit may be exempt.
If your country is not listed above, you are not eligible for an ED Card and will need to apply for an Aruba visa instead. Please visit the official Aruba ED Card system for visa guidance.
