Travel tip

To speed things up considerably at the Curacao customs, you can fill out the ED card online. The Embarkation-Disembarkation (ED) Card is a card that every non-resident visitor to Curacao needs to fill out before going through immigration. This is the card you normally fill out on the plane and then present with your passport on entering the island. This way you are screened somewhat ahead of time and will have the advantage of taking a different (shorter) line when arriving on Curacao.
