What You Need to Know Before You Travel

If you are traveling to Curaçao, one of the most important Curaçao entry requirements is completing the Curaçao Digital Immigration Card (DI Card) before your flight.

The DI Card is an online immigration form that replaced the old paper immigration card that used to be distributed on airplanes. Every visitor arriving by air must complete this form before entering Curaçao.

The process is simple and usually takes only a few minutes. However, many travelers accidentally use websites that charge money to submit the form, even though it is currently free on the official government website.

This guide explains where to complete the DI Card, when to do it, and how to avoid paying unnecessary fees.

Use Only the Official Curaçao DI Card Website

The only official website to complete the Curaçao Digital Immigration Card is:

https://dicardcuracao.com/portal

The DI Card is currently free when you submit it through the official Curaçao government website.

When searching online, you may see other websites offering to fill in the form for you. These websites often charge $30 to $100 per person for a service that you can easily do yourself.

Important things to remember:

  • The official DI Card website is free

  • If a website asks for payment, it is not the official government site

  • Completing the form yourself takes about five minutes

To avoid unnecessary fees, always use the official website listed above.

When Should You Fill in the DI Card Curaçao?

You can only complete the DI Card Curaçao within 7 days before your departure to the island. This is often referred to as the 7-day rule.

Because of this rule, many travelers fill in the form one or two days before their flight, when they already have their flight information and accommodation details available.

It is important that the form is completed before leaving for your departure airport.

Airlines sometimes check whether passengers have completed the Curaçao immigration card before allowing them to board the flight.

What Information Do You Need?

Completing the Curaçao Digital Immigration Card requires some basic travel information.

You will typically need:

  • Passport details

  • Flight number

  • Airline name

  • Address of your accommodation in Curaçao

  • Arrival and departure dates

After submitting the form, you will receive a confirmation email.

You should save this confirmation on your phone or print a copy so you can easily show it if requested.

Showing the DI Card at the Airport

Travelers may be asked to show their DI Card confirmation at two moments during their journey.

At airline check-in
Airlines sometimes verify that passengers have completed the form before boarding.

Upon arrival in Curaçao
Immigration officers may request to see the confirmation when entering the country.

For this reason, it is best to complete the DI Card before arriving at the airport.

Curaçao Immigration Card Form

The Curaçao immigration card form is now fully digital. Travelers arriving by airplane must complete the Digital Immigration Card (DI Card) online before departure.

The form replaces the traditional paper card that used to be filled in on the airplane and helps immigration authorities process arrivals more efficiently.

Completing the form online in advance helps make the arrival process in Curaçao faster and smoother.

  • Show proof of return or onward travel

  • Pass standard immigration checks upon arrival

Most tourists from North America and Europe can visit Curaçao without a visa for short stays, but travelers should always verify requirements for their nationality before traveling.

Possible Visitor Entry Fee Starting in 2027

At the moment, the Curaçao Digital Immigration Card is completely free.

However, the Curaçao government has announced that a visitor entry fee may be introduced starting in 2027. This fee will likely be collected during the DI Card application process.
