Netherlands Antilles and Dutch Caribbean Visa Information for Dallas Travelers
The name Netherlands Antilles is still used in older travel pages and searches, but the former Netherlands Antilles no longer operates as one single territory with one universal set of entry rules. Travelers now need to check requirements for the specific Dutch Caribbean destination they are visiting, such as Curaçao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba, or Sint Eustatius. U.S. travelers can generally make extended short visits to several of these destinations without obtaining a traditional tourist visa, but each island may have its own entry form, passport, return-ticket, and accommodation requirements.
AA Passport & Visa Expedite Services helps travelers from Dallas, Richardson, and throughout the DFW Metroplex prepare their passport before Dutch Caribbean travel. Instead of relying on an old “Netherlands Antilles visa” rule, make sure you know the exact island on your itinerary. If your passport needs renewal or replacement before the trip, call 972-231-1600.

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.
