Planning your visit
Know which details are confirmed, which need checking, and which are simply ideas.
Before booking
Check current official requirements for your nationality, travel document and route, along with your carrier’s instructions. Verify the exact accommodation address, cancellation terms and practical access. Do not rely on another traveller’s admission experience as your own eligibility check.
In the official application window
Aruba Tourism Authority directs visitors to the official ED Card portal and publishes a seven-day-before-travel completion window. Follow the current portal instructions for your circumstances. We do not process applications, collect passport information or determine admission.
Before departure
- Save confirmed accommodation and transport details securely.
- Check the current instructions for any official charges, exemptions or documents.
- Make the first arrival connection explicit, including delay arrangements.
- Keep the first day flexible rather than assuming a fixed arrival duration.
- Recheck the current operating details of time-sensitive activities.
During the stay
Use current provider information for routes, admission and opening arrangements. Keep beach and nature conditions separate from attractive descriptions. Our guides offer independent decision aids; they are not guarantees of access, availability or safety.
