Aruba drops all restrictions
Aruba is returning to normal as the island’s government lifts a raft of Covid restrictions.
From this week, the Dutch Caribbean island has scrapped all local measures, meaning that store opening hours and nightlife events can return to pre-pandemic normality.
Other changes include the lifting of limits on the number of people at a restaurant tables and no restrictions on the number of people allowed at weddings or other events.
Covid-related entry requirements for visitors to Aruba have also been updated, allowing anyone fully vaccinated with a booster to visit without the need for testing in advance or on arrival.
Visitors are required to have a digitally verifiable QR-code proof of vaccination status.
The long-standing requirement to complete an online Embarkation and Disembarkation form remains.
Additionally, visitors must also take out compulsory Aruba Visitors Insurance to cover medical and other costs in the event that they contract Covid.
This costs US$10 per day for the first seven days; US$7 per day for the following seven days; and US$3 per day thereafter.
Joanna Walding, UK & Ireland director of the Aruba Tourism Authority, said: ‘We are delighted that all practical restrictions for both local residents and visitors have been lifted this week. As the world emerges from the pandemic, we are delighted that Aruba is enabling life to get back to normal.’
