Curacao Immigration Forms Are Going Completely Digital

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - October 4, 2019 - 10:31 am

Flying to Curacao is about to get a whole lot easier.

Curacao’s Hato International Airport is switching to a fully online immigration card, a move which will help speed up the arrival process for travelers to the Dutch Caribbean island.

All travelers to Curacao now have to fill out a digital immigration card prior to their trip to the island.

The Curacao Tourist Board said the initiative “aims to make travel more seamless while promoting a green approach by reducing the use of paper.”

Once travelers have filled out their cards, they can update or edit them as needed online.

While traditional cards will still be available upon arrival at the airport, tourism officials are urging travelers to fill out the card in advance.
