Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need a visa to visit Curacao?
No. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Curacao for tourism or business for stays of up to 90 days. Curacao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and has its own immigration rules separate from the Netherlands and the Schengen Area. American passport holders can enter Curacao visa-free with just a valid US passport and a return ticket. All visitors must also complete an online immigration form called the Embarkation and Disembarkation card before arrival. AA Passport & Visa helps with passport renewal before your Curacao trip. Call 972-231-1600.
Does visiting Curacao count toward my Schengen 90-day limit?
No. Curacao is not part of the Schengen Area even though it is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Curacao has its own separate immigration rules and your days in Curacao do not count toward your 90-day Schengen allowance for mainland Europe. This makes Curacao an excellent Caribbean destination for travelers who want to visit both the Caribbean and Europe on the same extended trip without affecting their Schengen allowance.
What documents do US citizens need to enter Curacao?
You need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your planned return date, a completed online Embarkation and Disembarkation card before arrival, a return or onward flight ticket, proof of accommodation such as a hotel booking or host invitation, proof of sufficient funds for your stay, and travel insurance. Curacao border officials may ask to see these documents upon arrival. AA Passport & Visa helps ensure your passport is current before your departure from Dallas. Call 972-231-1600.
Is Curacao part of the Netherlands and do I need a Dutch visa?
Curacao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands but it is not part of the Netherlands proper and not part of the Schengen Area. US citizens do not need a Dutch or Schengen visa to visit Curacao. Curacao has its own government, its own immigration rules, and its own 90-day visa-free allowance for US citizens that is completely separate from the Netherlands. Think of it like the relationship between the US and Puerto Rico — same nation, different rules.
Can non-US citizens get Curacao visa help in Dallas TX?

Call 972-231-1600 with your passport nationality and travel dates and we will advise you on exactly what documentation is needed for your Curacao trip from Dallas.
