Since July 1, 2024, the Government of Aruba collects a mandatory USD $20.00 Sustainability Fee per visitor via the Online ED Card to fund island wastewater and environmental infrastructure (AWSS). The ED Card registration itself is free.
Children under 8 years old, repeat visitors returning to Aruba within the same calendar year on the same passport, Censo-registered Aruba residents, same-day transfer passengers (<24 hours), air-to-cruise embarkation passengers, crew members, and registered Aruban students are automatically exempted from the $20 fee, though they must still complete the ED Card.
The official portal allows applications starting 6 days before your arrival date (a 7-calendar-day window inclusive of today and arrival day).
Because an Aruba ED Card is only valid for the exact flight and date registered, you must submit a new ED Card if your flight number or arrival date changes. However, the system automatically recognizes your passport and waives any duplicate $20.00 Sustainability Fee.
Yes. Every traveler holding a passport, including infants and children under 8, must have an approved Online ED Card (children under 8 are automatically exempt from the $20.00 fee).
No commercial service or private agency can guarantee border admission into Aruba. Final entry permission rests exclusively with border control and immigration officers at your port of entry. NomadicMart is an independent private application concierge not affiliated with the Government of Aruba or edcardaruba.aw. We verify your declaration data and submit it accurately within the official filing window.
