The Caribbean – Aruba

Visiting Aruba

To enter Aruba, these are the travel documents required: a valid passport, a completed Aruba ED Card (embarkation and disembarkation = ED), and a return or onward ticket. A valid passport for the duration of your stay in Aruba is required. The Aruba ED Card is a mandatory electronic form that must be completed online before you arrive. A return or onward ticket provides proof of your departure from Aruba, such as a return ticket or a ticket to another destination, is needed.

Other considerations include that US citizens generally don't need a visa for stays of up to 30 days. US citizens, permanent residents, and green card holders do not need a visa for stays of up to 30 days. Other nationalities may require a visa. You may be asked to provide proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay, which can include bank statements. Aruba has a $20 Sustainability Fee for visitors arriving by air. US pre-clearance is available in Aruba, meaning you'll pass through US immigration at the airport in Aruba. If asked, you may need a scheduled reservation for accommodation or prove you have the means to cover hotel expenses. 

Travel insurance is strongly recommended, not required.

Travel Insurance and Hurricane Season in Aruba

When planning a trip to Aruba—an island located in the heart of the Caribbean—it is highly recommended to secure a comprehensive travel insurance policy, particularly during hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30. Although Aruba is south of the typical hurricane belt and often spared the worst storms, disruptions can still occur due to regional weather patterns.

If your trip is disrupted by a hurricane and you have trip interruption coverage as part of your trip cancellation insurance, you may be eligible for reimbursement of the non-refundable portion of your trip. Important: Your policy must be purchased before the storm is officially named by the National Hurricane Center in order for coverage to apply.

To protect your travel investment and ensure peace of mind, it’s wise to understand how your travel insurance policy covers inclement weather. Check out our latest blog on hurricane season travel smart tips.
