Aruba tourist visa

Travellers who do not qualify for a visa exemption need a visa for a short visit. Citizens of European Union countries and the listed countries and territories qualify for visa-free visits, subject to an unclear rule for Jamaica. Other exemptions depend on nationality, visas, permits or travel documents.

There are 7 options: Common Caribbean visa (a visa from an embassy); Visa-free entry for European Union citizens (no visa at all); Visa-free entry for listed nationalities (no visa at all); Visa-free entry for Dutch nationals (no visa at all); Entry using another visa or residence permit (no visa at all); Entry using a Canadian or United States visa (no visa at all); Entry using qualifying refugee or other travel documents (no visa at all).

Citizens of all European Union member states can visit without a visa. Nationals of the listed countries and territories can visit without a visa. The information gives conflicting rules for Jamaica. Dutch nationals without a local right to live in the Dutch Caribbean can enter without a visa for up to six months. Travellers of any nationality who would otherwise need a visa can qualify with one of the listed valid visas, residence permits or return permits. Nationals of Bolivia, China, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Haiti, India, Jamaica and Venezuela can enter with a valid Canadian or United States visa. Travellers holding one of the listed refugee, stateless person or United States travel documents do not need a visa.
