On June 10, 2020, Aruba’s government officially announced its reopening plans for travel and tourism. At the onset of COVID-19, Aruba swiftly shut down its borders in early March. There are currently zero active cases, which will continue to be a priority as travelers begin to visit again. However, there are several protocols and procedures in place so travelers can continue to feel at ease.
Requirements and Procedures to Travel to Aruba
In order to maintain the public’s health and safety in Aruba, incoming travelers must follow specific procedures and guidelines. The online Embarkation/Disembarkation card must be completed online. This process has five different components, which includes:
- Basic traveler information, like date of birth, length of stay, and passport info
- Personal health assessment, which asks visitors to provide accurate answers regarding their health
- Negative PCR test documentation, or testing at the airport
- Insurance coverage and Aruba Visitors Insurance
- Consent to comply with Aruba rules and procedures
Aruba Arrival Procedures
After completing the online ED card process, arriving visitors must abide by the following protocols:
- All travelers must wear a mask while in flight and at the Aruba airport
- PCR testing will take place for any arriving visitors that do not have negative test documentation
- While PCR test is assessed, visitors must quarantine for up to 48 hours. However, officials will try to provide results as soon as possible
- All travelers with documentation will undergo a temperature check and health interview by medical professionals
- Children 14 and under do not need to have a PCR test at the airport
