Many travellers are unaware that even without a visa, you are required to register online before arriving in Curaçao. This applies to all visitors, regardless of nationality or length of stay.
Fortunately, registration is quick, free, and takes just a few minutes. In this blog, we’ll explain where and how to register, what to fill in, and what you need to show upon arrival.
Why is registration required?
The government of Curaçao uses a digital immigration system to manage all arrivals. The system is called the Digital Immigration Card, and it is mandatory for every visitor — whether you need a visa or not.
It ensures smooth border control and a safe, well-organised arrival process.
Where do you register?
Visit the official site:

This is the only recognised immigration platform. Make sure to complete it before your departure (preferably as soon as your flight and accommodation are booked).
What do you need to fill in?
During online registration, you will be asked to provide:
-
Flight details (airline, arrival date, flight number)
-
Accommodation address in Curaçao
For example: Bon Bini Resort, Bapor Kibra z/n, Willemstad -
Personal details (name, passport number, contact info)
You’ll receive a confirmation with a QR code, which you must show (printed or on your phone) upon arrival at Hato International Airport.
Does a passport alone suffice?
No. While a valid passport is essential, travellers who do not register in advance may be denied boarding or entry upon arrival. The immigration card is an official requirement.
How long is the registration valid?
It is valid for a single trip only. Planning another visit? You’ll need to register again.
Visiting Curaçao for a holiday?
If you’re simply coming to relax, enjoy the beaches and local culture, this is the only formal step you need to take. No visa, no hassle — just register online, and you’re ready to go.
