Guide
Curaçao gives citizens of 109 countries visa free entry, no visa needed for a stay of up to 90 days within any six month period, and the standard checklist includes a passport that is not more than 10 years old, valid for at least six months beyond your departure with at least one blank visa page, plus proof of onward and return flights. Yellow fever vaccination is required specifically for travelers aged 9 months and older arriving from an area with yellow fever risk, not a blanket rule for every visitor.
Curaçao has a specific financial proof expectation worth knowing about in advance: guides describe roughly 150 US dollars per person per day if staying in a hotel, or about 100 dollars per person per day if staying with friends or family, figures worth having documentation for rather than assuming a general sense of solvency will do. Medical or travel insurance covering hospital care, emergency treatment, and repatriation is advised, though this guide's sources did not confirm whether it is strictly mandatory or simply recommended.
Border crossings
- Curaçao International Airport, near Willemstad
The main gateway, formerly known as Hato Airport, where the passport age and validity rules, financial proof, and any applicable yellow fever certificate are checked.
Transit routes
- Bring documentation for the daily funds expectation
The 100 to 150 dollar per day figures, depending on accommodation type, are specific enough that a bank statement or similar proof is worth carrying.
- Check your passport's issue date, not just its expiry date
The 10 year maximum age rule is an unusual detail worth confirming against your specific passport before you travel.
Entry point notes
- Ninety days within six months for the 109 country visa free list
A broad allowance, though narrower in one respect, the specific per-day funds expectation, than some neighboring islands mention.
- Yellow fever depends on your recent travel history
Only travelers arriving from an at-risk area need the certificate.
