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 infants and children) spending more than 24 hours in Aruba must complete prior to traveling to Aruba.

The ED Card process needs to be done at edcardaruba.aw.

Important notes: The online ED Card can be filled out within the 7 days prior to your travel to Aruba (filling it out earlier will result in invalid dates). You will need a valid passport and a valid email address that you have access to. The ED Card must be filled out prior to your travels, as you will need to show it at the airline check-in and/or prior to boarding your flight to Aruba.

Sustainability fee notice:

As of July 2024, Aruba has implemented a $20 Sustainability Fee for visitors arriving by air to the island. This fee supports a number of projects aimed at enhancing and improving sustainability efforts on the island. The sustainability fee will is visible and payable through the existing online ED Card platform when completing the ED Card process to enter Aruba.

For more detailed information on the Sustainability Fee, payment methods and fee exemptions kindly refer to this page.

Email Confirmation

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 and/or upon boarding.
