European nationals

For European nationals, entry requirements to Aruba are fairly straightforward and convenient. European Union citizens do not need a visa for a tourist stay of less than 30 days. However, on arrival they must present a passport valid for the entire duration of their stay. A return or onward ticket is also required. The authorities also require proof of sufficient financial resources to cover the duration of the stay, as well as proof of accommodation booking, whether in the form of a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from a resident of Aruba.

It is also recommended to take out travel insurance including medical cover. To avoid any inconvenience, always check the latest information and requirements with the Aruban embassy or consulate before traveling.

International nationals

Aruban entry requirements for international nationals vary depending on the country of origin. In general, visitors are required to present a passport valid for at least six months beyond the planned date of departure. If their country of origin is not visa-exempt, they will need to obtain a tourist visa before departure. The list of visa-exempt countries is available on the official Aruban government website.

In addition, travelers must have a return or onward ticket. They must also provide proof of sufficient financial resources to cover their stay, as well as proof of accommodation reservations, in the form of a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from a local resident.
