The Aruba ED Card is an Embarkation/Disembarkation Card for travellers who wish to visit the country for stays of up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family and friends, business activities or to study.
You can also come to Aruba for up to 3 months on the Creative Worker Visa concession on the Aruba ED Card. It's also necessary to transit through Aruba, including if you're not going through Aruba border control.
The Aruba ED Card is granted through an online application system. It was introduced to simplify visa processes for citizens of eligible countries who want to travel for short-term stays.
Once approved, the Aruba ED Card is valid for a total of 2 years, or until the associated passport expires. It allows the holder to visit Aruba multiple times during its validity.
Applicants need to provide personal details, passport, and travel information. The applicant's passport must be from an eligible country.
Once the applicant has submitted the online application, all notifications and updates will be sent by email.
The processing time is within 1 day, however, some applications may take longer to process, up to 2 days.
