(iii) Uploading a negative PCR test result
Test must be a COVID-19 test, obtained from a nasal/oral swab specimen through PCR, NAAT or molecular testing performed by a certified lab. Any other Covid-19 test (serological testing/antibody testing, antigen testing or any other blood test) doctor’s declaration or home kits will not be accepted. Tests are not required for children 14 and under. All costs related to PCR testing are the responsibility of the visitor.

Test must be taken at 72 hours prior to departure (or closer to departure) and the results need to be uploaded no later than 12 hours prior to departure to Aruba. Any tests and results executed before 72 hours prior to departure to Aruba will not be valid.

IMPORTANT: Uploading a negative test result prior to travel to Aruba is the only option available to residents of the following US States for being granted entry to Aruba:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Residents of all other US States and other countries with whom Aruba’s borders are open will have the alternative option of taking a PCR test immediately after arrival in Aruba, which is mandatory if a negative test has not been uploaded within the required timeframe prior to arrival. The cost of this test is US$75 per person and needs to be pre-paid as part of the online embarkation/disembarkation process. Children 14 and under are not required to take the PCR test.
