Travel information
Open the card within seven days before travel. Enter the confirmed arrival and departure dates. Use the operating arrival flight number, not a booking reference. The custom-flight control accepts letters and numbers and has a 10 character maximum.
Passport information
Use the passport carried to Aruba. The live application normalizes the passport number to uppercase letters and numbers and exposes a 5 to 30 character range. First names and surname are required, each with a 50 character maximum. Copy them from the passport.
Personal and contact information
Enter the current residence address; the visible address line has a 42 character maximum. Choose the purpose for this trip and use an email inbox available during travel.
Review, pay if applicable and save
Review all fields. Most air arrivals then pay the USD 20 sustainability fee; exemptions and the sea-arrival rule remain available on the official fee page. Save the approved ED Card confirmation and keep both digital and printed copies.
