     Where and how do I apply for a visa?
     As a visa-required national you need to apply for, and have a visitor’s
     visa prior to your arrival in Aruba. The visa must be applied for in-person
     at an embassy or consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (diplomatic
     mission). In some countries certain approved travel agencies can apply for
     a visa on your behalf. For more information about visa requirements please
     contact a consulate or embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in your
     country of residence or visit the website of the Embassy or consulates
     concerned. For address information and a list of websites of Dutch
     diplomatic missions abroad, please visit the website of the Ministry of
     Foreign Affairs, www.mfa.nl/en.
     https://www.government.nl/ministries/ministry-of-foreign-affairs
     When do I need an invitation/declaration of guarantee?
     A visa-required national needs a declaration/invitation of guarantee to
     apply for a visa if he/she has been invited to participate in a sports
     event by an organization on Aruba or if he/she will be staying at the home
     of a relative or an acquaintance. The person or organization in Aruba who
     will act as guarantor for the tourist’s stay has to declare that they will
     guarantee all costs that can arise from the short stay of the tourist in
     Aruba. The guarantor is responsible for sending the declaration of
     guarantee/invitation to the visa-required tourist. Please note that having
     the declaration/invitation does not mean that the visa will be issued. It
     is only one of the requirements that the visa applicant has to submit.
     
     DIMAS is the official implementing body for guarantee certificates for
     visa-required tourists. In practice, the Department of Legal Affairs
     provides the warranty form and provides legalization by means of a stamp
     with signature. This document is sent to a visa-required tourist abroad.

BONBINI! WELCOME TO ARUBA

Hello friends! The people of Aruba are very happy to be welcoming travelers to
our One Happy Island once again.

In an effort to facilitate your travels to Aruba, the Aruban Immigration
Authority offers your first welcome or, “bonbini”, in the form of Aruba’s online
Embarkation and Disembarkation (ED) program.

In accordance with the State Decree of Admittance AB 2009 no. 59, the online ED
card is mandatory for all travelers to Aruba. All non-resident travelers,
including visa required countries, are required to obtain an online travel
qualification using this system prior to being granted permission for boarding.

If you have been qualified to travel to Aruba, it establishes that you are
eligible to board an inbound plane to Aruba, but does not exempt you from
COVID-19 screening and testing nor establish that you are admissible to Aruba.
Upon arrival to Aruba, the respective authorities have the prerogative to screen
and test you for COVID-19 as well as interview you in order to determine if you
are freely admissible to Aruba under the Immigration laws and applicable health
rules and regulations. All information provided by you, or in the case you act
as a legal guardian, must be true and correct.



You may be subject to penalties if you knowingly and willfully make a materially
false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation in an online travel
qualification application submitted by you or as legal guardian.

There are two possible responses to your online application:

• Qualified: You are qualified to travel to Aruba. The system displays
confirmation of the application approval, which you will receive by email.
• Denied: You are not qualified to travel to Aruba.

Note that reapplying with false information in order to qualify for a travel is
subject to penalties and may be in violation of our criminal code.
