DI Card Curaçao
What is the Digital Immigration Card
Anyone traveling to Curaçao needs to fill out the Digital Immigration Card (DI Card) before arrival. This online form has replaced the paper arrival and departure cards used in the past, and immigration officers use it to process visitors when they land. Whether you’re coming for vacation, work, or to see family, the DI Card is required if you’re staying anywhere from one night up to a 90-night maximum per visit.
Residents registered in Curaçao are exempt, but if you were born on the island and now live abroad, you’ll still need to complete one as a visitor.
Getting Assistance on Your DI Card
You can apply anytime up to 7 days before your departure date. The process only takes a few minutes: enter your travel details, add your passport information (uploading a photo is optional — you can type the details in manually instead), then fill in your contact information and submit.
Once completed, you’ll get a downloadable PDF and a confirmation email. You’ll need to show this at airline check-in and again to immigration when you land, either as a printout or on your phone.
Making Changes to Your Application
Made a mistake, or need to update your travel dates? No problem — you don’t need to submit a new application. Simply email us at info@curacaoentryform.com or give us a call with your details and the correction needed, and we’ll update your card and send you the revised approval.
If your flight is delayed, canceled, or rebooked, there’s no need to reapply either: your card stays valid, and immigration officers update your arrival details on the day you actually land. For any other changes, just reach out and we’ll take care of it for you.
Validity and Frequent Travel
Your DI Card stays valid from the moment you submit it until you’ve cleared immigration on the flight you registered. One card covers one trip, so if you’re a frequent visitor, you’ll simply update your existing card each time you travel rather than creating a new one.
If you’re extending your stay once you’re already on the island, there’s no need to edit anything — the card has already done its job. Travelers passing through Curaçao in transit who need to check in again with a different airline are the one exception: they’ll need to complete the form too.
Traveling to Curaçao
Where Is Curaçao?
Curaçao sits in the southern Caribbean, just north of South America, where European influence blends seamlessly with Caribbean soul. Its capital, Willemstad, is famous for its colorful waterfront, but the island’s true character reveals itself in quiet coves, rugged coastlines, and local neighborhoods where life moves at its own rhythm.
One of Curaçao’s greatest advantages is its location outside the hurricane belt, making it a dependable destination year-round.

Curaçao International Airport connects the island with major cities across North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Whether you arrive on a direct flight or with a short connection, the journey is surprisingly smooth.

When to Travel to Curaçao
Curaçao doesn’t follow strict travel seasons. Sunshine dominates the calendar, temperatures remain steady, and the island keeps its relaxed pace throughout the year. Winter attracts travelers escaping colder climates, while other months offer quieter beaches and a slower, more intimate experience.
