Online ED Card process
Referred to as the embarkation/disembarkation card (or ED Card) due to it having been a paper card that used to be handed out to visitors to Aruba for filling in traveler information. This has since been completely digitized and is an essential process that all visitors (including children) spending more than 24 hours in Aruba must complete prior to traveling to Aruba.
The process needs to be done at edcardaruba.aw.

Notice: As of July 1st, 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, including a new wastewater and sewage system.
The sustainability fee will be payable through the existing online Embarkation & Disembarkation (ED) Card platform when completing the ED card process to enter Aruba: edcardaruba.aw.

*Please note the following travelers are not required to pay this fee: local residents, children under 8 years, repeat visitors who have already paid this fee to visit Aruba within the same calendar year, persons in transit staying less than 24 hours in Aruba, and Aruban students who can prove they are studying at a foreign educational institution (and have been residents within the past 8 years).
For questions or more information about this fee, kindly contact the Aruba Tourism Authority at support@aruba.com.
EMAIL NOTIFICATION
Upon successful completion of the ED Card process, travelers will receive an email confirmation of approval for travel (green checkmark), which must be shown either digitally or in printed form at check-in or upon boarding.
