Common questions about the Aruba ED Card
The Aruba ED Card application typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete, depending on how quickly you can provide the required information. If you have all your documents ready (passport, travel details, accommodation information), the process is very straightforward.
Processing time after submission is usually immediate to a few minutes. You'll receive a confirmation email once your application is approved.
No, the ED Card is not a visa. The Aruba ED Card is an immigration form that collects information about your trip. It does not grant you permission to enter Aruba - that depends on your nationality and visa requirements.
Many nationalities can enter Aruba visa-free for tourism purposes, but they still need to complete the ED Card. Check if you need a separate visa based on your nationality.
Learn the DifferenceNo, each traveler needs their own ED Card application. This includes children and infants. However, parents or guardians can complete the application on behalf of minors.
You'll need to submit separate applications for each family member, but you can complete them one after another using the same device.
ED Card for ChildrenIf you notice an error after submitting your ED Card application, you should correct it as soon as possible. Minor errors may not cause issues, but significant mistakes (especially in passport details or travel dates) should be corrected.
You can typically submit a new application with the correct information. Make sure to use the corrected version when traveling to Aruba.
How to Correct ErrorsWhile it's not mandatory to print your ED Card confirmation, it's highly recommended to have either a printed copy or a digital copy saved on your phone. Immigration officers may ask to see your confirmation upon arrival.
Make sure you can easily access your confirmation email during your travel. Having both digital and printed copies provides the best backup.
