Entry & visas · 2 min read · Checked November 7, 2026

Short answer

Every visitor to Curaçao, children included, fills in a Digital Immigration Card online before arriving, on the official site dicardcuracao.com. You show the confirmation at check-in and at immigration.

Who needs one

Every visitor, with one card per person per trip. Children need their own card. There are no family forms.
People born in Curaçao who live abroad.
Travellers passing through who check in again with another airline.
Residents of Curaçao don't need one.

When to fill it in

The official site takes your card up to 7 days before you leave. Do it before you go to the airport, because you show the confirmation at check-in.

How it works

Go to the official site, dicardcuracao.com.
Enter your travel details, the details of the passport you travel with, and your contact and personal details.
Confirm the declaration and send the card.
You get a confirmation by email from curacaoimmigration@curacao.com. Keep it on your phone or print it.
Show it at check-in and at immigration in Curaçao.

Watch out for lookalike sites

Some websites look official and charge a fee to fill in the card for you. Use only dicardcuracao.com. Local news reported in December 2025 that the card on the official site is free.

Faster through immigration

Adults of 18 and over with a chip passport from Canada, Europe or the US who filled in the card can use the eGates at the airport. Families with children under 18 go to an officer.

The card is not a visa

The card doesn't replace a visa, and having one doesn't guarantee entry. Read who needs a visa for Curaçao.
