Curaçao Reopens to International Tourism

The Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao is open for tourism once again. On Jan. 1, Curaçao officially reopened to all international travelers, following a limited reopening. 

That includes travelers from the United States. During its phased reopening, the island had only been allowing travelers from a handful of U.S. states. 

All travelers to Curaçao have to complete a digital immigration card that can be found here. Within 48 hours before departure, each visitor needs to toil out a passenger locator card and carry a printed document as proof. 

Each visitor has to also show a negative result from a PCR test (nasal only, not saliva) within 72 hours before departure and carry printed proof with them. 

Children six years and younger without symptoms, whose parents both have proof of a negative test, do not need to take a PCR test, according to tourism officials.

All travelers to the island need to be “adequately insured for medical care” and additional costs of travel; all visitors who have been in contact with a person who tested positive within 14 days of their trip will be placed in mandatory quarantine.
