Curaçao: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Complete the mandatory DI card within 7 days before departure and save approval for airline check-in. The local portal gives this window; UK advice still says 48 hours.
- The currency is the Caribbean guilder (XCG), introduced in 2025; old Antillean guilders are no longer circulating legal tender.
Ingresso e visti
Bring a valid passport, return/onward ticket, funds evidence and DI-card approval. British tourists are visa-exempt, with UK guidance describing 90 days per calendar year; US visitors have a different allowance. Check the local admission rules rather than assuming European Netherlands rules apply. Local DI-card guidance permits completion within 7 days before departure.
