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. 

Beginning July 1, 2024, Aruba will implement a $20 Sustainability Fee for visitors arriving by air to the island. This fee will support a number of projects aimed at enhancing and improving Sustainability efforts on the island. 

The sustainability fee will be charged through the online Embarkation & Disembarkation (ED) Card platform, starting July 1, 2024, while one is completing the ED card to enter Aruba. The website is https://edcardaruba.aw/

The following persons are not required to pay this fee: residents, children under 8, repeat visitors who have already paid this fee to visit Aruba within the same calendar year, and Aruban students who can prove they are studying at a foreign educational institution and have been residents within the past 8 years.
