Visa & Entry

Portuguese passport holders enter Aruba visa-free for up to 90 days. Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and EU passport holders qualify for visa-free entry. Passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. Complete the Embarkation/Disembarkation (ED) card online at edcardaruba.aw before arrival. This digital form replaced the paper card and must be submitted within 7 days of travel.

At Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA), immigration reviews your passport and ED card confirmation. Have your hotel address and return ticket information accessible. The 90-day visa-free period applies specifically to Aruba. Bonaire and Curacao are separate territories with their own entry rules, though all three grant visa-free access to EU nationals. Extensions beyond 90 days require an application at DIMAS (Directie Integratie, Manuele Arbeid en Splitsing) in Oranjestad.

No direct flights connect Portugal to Aruba. Route through Amsterdam (KLM flies direct to Aruba in about 9 hours 30 minutes) or through Miami and other US gateways. Total travel time from Lisbon runs 14 to 18 hours. Aruba uses the Aruban florin (AWG), pegged at 1.79 AWG per $1. US dollars are accepted everywhere on the island. Card payments work at most businesses. No mandatory vaccinations. Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, so weather is reliable year-round at 28 to 33 degrees Celsius. Tap water is safe to drink, distilled from seawater.
