Embarkation / Disembarkation Card

All visitors, including children, are required to complete the online Embarkation/Disembarkation card process and be approved in order to be permitted entry to Aruba. A valid passport and access to a valid email address are required to complete the process. Upon successful completion of the ED card process, travelers will receive an email confirmation of approval for travel that must be shown either digitally or in printed form at check in. 

Effective December 1st, the $20 Sustainability Fee payment will be integrated into the Online Embarkation / Disembarkation (ED) Card system. As a result, you will need to complete this payment before you can receive your ED card approval. Payments can only be made by credit card. All guests to the island need to pay this fee once per calendar year, with the same passport number. For a list of those exempt to pay this fee refer to this FAQ. For some of the exemptions you may have to pay the fee and get reimbursed by Aruba Wastewater Sustainable Solutions (AWSS). For all questions related to the payment and reimbursement of the Sustainability Fee, you can reach AWSS at info@awss.aw . For all questions related to the ED card, contact the Immigration Department at migracion.aruba@dga.aw  . ED cards can be completed within 7 days before arrival. We recommend you do so at your earliest convenience to ensure a smooth process. Please note that the completion of the ED card is mandatory to enter Aruba.
