What Aruba requires
One document, and it applies to every foreign national: whatever your passport, however you arrive.
Aruba ED Card
ED Card
The Aruba ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) is Aruba's mandatory digital travel form that replaced the traditional paper immigration card, a visa-free entry requirement for all travelers arriving on the island. Complete your Aruba ED Card application online before departure and receive instant confirmation, with your entry paperwork done before you land in Aruba.
What you'll need
Valid passport details, flight information (airline and flight number), accommodation address in Aruba, personal and contact information, and valid email address to receive your confirmation.
Four steps, and you know all four
Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.
01
Your trip
When you arrive and leave, and where to email the document.
02
Your travelers
Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.
03
Review and pay
Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.
04
After payment
Arrival details
After payment
Airline, flight number and your address in Aruba. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.
What it costs
$99.99 per traveler for the ED Card, charged for at most 2 travelers, plus the $20.00 Aruba government fee we pay on your behalf for each one.
What $99.99 adds
Someone else carries it
- An AI checks every answer against Aruba's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
- Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
- If Aruba's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
- Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
- A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.
Doing it yourself
www.edcardaruba.aw (free)
- The official portal, in your own time. It works.
- The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
- You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
- A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
- Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.
Review and submission speed
Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If Aruba is not accepting your document for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.
A travel eSIM is the only other optional extra at checkout. Every line is itemized before you pay.
Who needs one
Every foreign national entering Aruba, whatever your passport. Find yours below.
The questions people actually ask
One: the ED Card. It applies to every foreign national arriving in Aruba, by air, land or sea. If your nationality also needs a visa, that is a separate application. The ED Card does not replace it.
All we need is the day you land.
Start now, pay when you have seen the full price, and let someone else keep track of Aruba's submission window.
