Below follows an information and travel advisory update from the Aruba Tourism Authority regarding the measures Aruba has put in place, including travel restrictions in connection with the coronavirus (COVID-19).

LAST UPDATED: JUL 24, 2020
VALID THROUGH: TODAY

UPDATE ON PCR TESTING REQUIREMENTS

 

As a country that is heavily reliant on tourism, we are continually assessing a variety of risks and protections to ensure our safeguards and protocols meet the highest standard. Creating a safe environment for our residents and guests is of the utmost importance to us.

To increase safety measure for the health and wellbeing of travelers and our locals, visitors from the United States residing in:

  • Alabama
  • Arizona
  • Arkansas
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Idaho
  • Iowa
  • Kansas
  • Louisiana
  • Mississippi
  • Nevada
  • North Carolina
  • Ohio
  • Oklahoma
  • Oregon
  • South Carolina
  • South Dakota
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Utah
  • Wisconsin
  • Wyoming

will still be able to travel to Aruba. However, as of July 10th, travelers residing in the states listed above must take a PCR test and upload their test results as part of the online Embarkation/Disembarkation process prior to departure. Travelers can get tested within the 72-hour period prior to their direct departure flight time to Aruba, and they must upload the results to the online Embarkation/Disembarkation process at least 12-hours prior to their direct departure flight time to Aruba. Travelers residing in the states listed above states will not be able to upload results after that point, meaning that they cannot travel to Aruba without a valid negative PCR test.
Travelers residing in states listed above will not have the option to be tested upon arrival at the airport in Aruba.

All other United States visitors that reside in states not listed above still have the option of taking a PCR test at their own expense upon arrival at the airport in Aruba, or can upload the PCR test in the 72-12 hour window.

We recognize this causes an extra step for those wanting to travel, and also know not everyone will be able to have access to this test in their state. These are necessary safeguards designed to keep Aruba safe and free of health risks.

REOPENING STATEMENT & COUNTRY/REGION START DATES

As of June 10, 2020, the government of Aruba officially announced that the country will reopen its borders and once again welcome inbound travel. The decision to reopen borders, which were closed due to COVID-19 restrictions in early March, was made in conjunction with the Aruba Department of Public Health (DPH) and took into consideration the ongoing guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO), The Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States.

The government of Aruba considered a range of factors in the reopening decision-making process, including:

  • Local Containment
    An aggressive response to identifying and managing potential cases of COVID-19 was impactful and reduced the effect on Aruba.
  • Gradual Easing of On-Island Restrictions
    As conditions improved, restrictions on the island have been carefully rolled back without significant concerns.
  • Stringent Health Standards in Place
    Stringent new health and safety protocols, including the Aruba Health & Happiness Code, have been implemented island-wide, with a heavy emphasis on tourism and hospitality businesses to help ensure the well-being of Aruba’s visitors and local community.

PERMITTED COUNTRIES/REGIONS & OPENING DATES

Aruba’s diligent reopening will happen in phases, monitored closely by the Government of Aruba and the Department of Public Health, and the following are the most recently updated reopening dates by region and country:

June 15, 2020 – Bonaire & Curacao
July  1, 2020 - Canada
July  1, 2020 - Europe
July  1, 2020 - The Caribbean (Excluding the Dominican Republic & Haiti)
July 10, 2020 – The United States of America

Official opening dates for other markets, including South America and Central America, have yet to be determined.

MANDATORY PROCEDURES & REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY

To maintain the safety and well-being of visitors and locals, new requirements are in place for visitors to be permitted to enter Aruba. There are also government-mandated procedures for visitors while staying in Aruba. While full procedural details will be updated on a regular basis, the following are some of the most important:

THE ONLINE EMBARKATION/DISEMBARKATION PROCESS

All visitors will be required to complete the online Embarkation/Disembarkation card process and be approved in order to be permitted entry to Aruba. The new ED card process will be available online as of June 26, 2020, and the requirements of the ED card will include five components. Do take note carefully, as there are important steps, and visitors will not be granted access to Aruba without completing the process. Note: You will need a valid passport and a valid email address that you have access to.

COMPONENT 1: BASIC TRAVELER INFORMATION

This will require travelers to provide basic personal and travel details such as: date of birth, passport information, length of stay, etc.

Timing: Visitors are encouraged to start and complete this part of the process anytime after booking their trip to Aruba.

COMPONENT 2: PERSONAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT

This will require visitors to provide truthful, accurate answers to questions regarding their health. These questions will likely include:

  • Have you (or the person for whom you completed this form) been suspected of or diagnosed with pneumonia or the COVID-19 infection within the past 14 days?
  • Did you (or the person for whom you completed this form) have any of the following symptoms in the past 24 hours: fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, or loss of smell/taste?

COMPONENT 3: NEGATIVE PCR TEST REQUIRED

It is important that we have testing to confirm that travelers are negative for coronavirus. For this reason, we have a protocol in place that allows the following two options for testing.

As of July 10th, 2020, visitors in certain states must take a PCR test and upload a negative test result between 72 and 12 hours prior to travel to Aruba as part of the online Embarkation/ Disembarkation process (Option 1). Visitors from these states will not have the option to take a PCR test upon arrival in Aruba (Option 2). To view the complete list of states, click here.

Option 1: PCR testing prior to travel to Aruba

The government of Aruba strongly encourages visitors to show documentation indicating negative PCR test results prior to travel to Aruba.

  • The test needs to be a COVID-19 test, obtained from a nasal/oral swab specimen through PCR, NAAT or molecular testing performed by a certified lab, and the results need to be uploaded as part of the ED card process.
  • Any other Covid-19 test (serological testing/antibody testing, antigen testing or any other blood test) doctor’s declaration or home kits will not be accepted.

Payment for the PCR testing in Aruba must be completed within 72 hours and 12 hours prior to travel to Aruba.

COMPONENT 4: REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE

ED Card FAQ

Will there be costs associated with the Embarkation / Disembarkation (ED) Card?
There are two components of the ED card process that call for payment: 1) Securing the requisite health insurance coverage as mandated by the government of Aruba. 2) The PCR test at the Aruba airport for those who did not upload a certified negative test result between 72 and 12 hours prior to travel to Aruba. If visitors successfully upload a certified negative test result between 72 and 12 hours prior to travel to Aruba, they will not be required to make this payment as part of the ED card process.
Can I start the ED card process after booking, or do I need to wait 72 hours before traveling?
You can start filling in your basic information any time after booking your trip. The self-health declaration, securing the requisite insurance coverage, and payment for any PCR testing at the Aruba airport must be completed between 72 and 4 hours prior to travel. Any optional PCR testing done prior to travel to Aruba must have certified negative test results uploaded between 72 hours to 12 hours prior to departing for Aruba.

Health & Testing FAQ

What is a self-health declaration?
It is part of the ED card process and should be submitted 72 hours prior to travel to Aruba. This declaration must include truthful answers and consists of the following questions:
• Have you (or the person for whom you completed this form) been suspected diagnosed with pneumonia or the COVID-19 infection within the past 14 days?
• Did you (or the person for whom you completed this form) have any of the following symptoms in the past 24 hours: fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, or loss of smell/taste?
• Have you been in quarantine within the past 14 days?
• Have you had any close contact (less than 2 meters or 6 feet) for more than 15 minutes with a probable or confirmed COVID-19-infected person within the past 14 days, including persons in quarantine or isolation?
Can I take any type of COVID-19 test prior to travel as part of the ED card process?
Every traveler over the age of 14 who wants to upload a negative PCR test 72 to 12 hours prior to travel to Aruba must take a COVID-19 test obtained from a nasal/oral specimen through PCR testing performed by a certified lab. Any other COVID-19 test (serological testing/antibody testing, antigen testing or any other blood test) will not be accepted.
What is a PCR test?
PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction and is used to detect the presence of COVID-19 in an individual. It is the recommended method for the identification and laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 cases according to the World Health Organization.
Can COVID-19 antibody test results be used as a replacement for a PCR test?
An antibody test cannot be used as a replacement for a PCR test, as antibody tests do not reflect whether a person is currently infected with COVID-19.
Why is Aruba requesting that travelers upload a certified negative PCR test result within 72 to 12 hours of traveling to the island?
We are requiring a PCR test within 72 hours to 12 hours of departure to minimize the chances of an individual contracting the virus ahead of travel to Aruba. This is for the safety of Aruba’s visitors and local community.
Do children need to be tested as well?
Children 14 and under are not required to take or submit a PCR test.
If I provided a certified negative PCR test result prior to arrival, do I need to do another test when arriving in Aruba?
Upon arrival, passengers having provided proof of a negative PCR test will undergo an initial health screening. They will undergo a manual temperature check by a health worker at the medical post. The health worker will also conduct a short interview to determine any COVID-19 risks. If the passenger is cleared, they can proceed. Suspected cases and their travel companions will be immediately entered into the testing process as per protocol and, if necessary, placed in isolation and/or quarantine.
If taking the PCR test in Aruba, are we quarantined to our room in the hotel or just the hotel? Can we still go to facilities in the hotel such as the beach and pool?
If your test was administered on the island upon arrival, you are required to quarantine in your room at your booked accommodation until you receive your test result. The quarantine will be up to 24 hours and the Aruba Department of Health will make every effort to have results in 6-8 hours, in order to minimize visitors’ time in quarantine. Visitors are required to stay in their rooms to ensure the safety of fellow guests and Arubans.
If I tested positive while in Aruba, do I need to test negative before I can return to my country?
Yes. If you test positive, you must remain in isolation until you have tested negative and are once again able to follow embarkation protocols for leaving Aruba.

COVID-19 Measures FAQ

Will I have to wear a mask during my vacation time in Aruba?
The Aruban government requires that all inbound travelers wear a mask during their flight to Aruba and at the Queen Beatrix International Airport. The Department of Public Health (DOPH) will not require visitors to wear masks outside of the Queen Beatrix International Airport. However, visitors will be encouraged to bring masks and wear them at their own discretion, especially for situations where social distancing proves difficult.
What safeguards will be in place for people visiting the island?
To help reduce health risks and ensure the safety of everyone on the island, we have implemented a number of safeguards, including the Aruba Health & Happiness Code certification. The Aruba Health & Happiness Code certification provides assurance that Aruba’s tourism-related businesses have taken every measure to offer a safe environment for employees and guests. These measures are built on the pillars of smart social distancing and rigorous hygiene protocols.
Are all businesses required to meet the Aruba Health & Happiness Code standards?
All tourism-related businesses are required to meet the Health & Happiness Code standards. This includes accommodations, restaurants, food trucks, casinos, hotels, retail stores, tour operators, transportation, and spas, among others.

Aruba Visitors Insurance FAQ

What will the Aruba Visitors Insurance cover?

Can I use my own travel or health insurance?

Other insurance may cover you for some COVID-19-related expenses, but few plans offer comprehensive COVID-19 coverage in Aruba that also covers isolation costs outside of a hospital. In addition, many foreign insurers don’t have a direct billing agreement with all the providers in Aruba.
