Select your passport above to personalise this table.
Is there a government fee for the Curaçao Digital Immigration Card?
▼
No. Curaçao's government charges nothing for the Digital Immigration Card. If you'd rather not deal with it yourself, PassportsAndVisas.com can complete and check the card for you and send you the confirmation, and you pay only our service fee.
Does every traveller in my group, including children, need their own Curaçao Digital Immigration Card?
▼
Yes. Every foreign visitor needs their own Digital Immigration Card for each trip, whatever their age, so a family of four needs four cards. The only people who don't need one are registered residents of Curaçao. If you were born in Curaçao but now live abroad, you still need one. PassportsAndVisas.com can complete the cards for your whole group.
When can I fill out my Curaçao Digital Immigration Card?
▼
You can complete it no earlier than 7 days before your departure. Do it before you head to the airport, because your airline will check your confirmation at check-in and immigration will ask for it when you land. Keep a printed or digital copy. PassportsAndVisas.com can take care of it for you as soon as the 7-day window opens.
Do I need a new Curaçao Digital Immigration Card for my next trip?
▼
Each card covers one trip and stays valid until you have landed and been let into Curaçao. For your next visit you don't start from scratch: your existing card is updated with the new flight and travel details. You can also edit a card after submitting it if you made a mistake. PassportsAndVisas.com can update your card for each new trip.
Do I need a Curaçao Digital Immigration Card if I'm only in transit?
▼
If you have to check in again with a different airline in Curaçao, then yes, you need to complete the Digital Immigration Card. Also, if your flight is delayed or cancelled you don't need a new card: immigration officers update your flight details when you arrive. PassportsAndVisas.com can complete the card for you before you travel.
