Arriving at Aruba Airport
As you step off of the plane at Aruba Airport, it’s a short walk to the terminal building. The first step is immigration. The passport control queues at Aruba Airport (and most Caribbean airports) can be long and flustering because of the heat and large crowds of people. So we recommend drinking water and preparing your travel documents as you wait.
You’ll need to present your immigration form, ID, and any relevant visas.
Tip: Make sure you have enough empty pages in your passport for stamping.
After going through immigration, you can collect your luggage. Baggage reclaim is not far from passport control. There are only a handful of baggage collection belts which will be labelled by airline and flight number.
Once you’ve collected your luggage, it’s time to go through Customs which can take a while to get through. Visual spot inspections by customs officers are common, so make sure you can open and close your luggage easily. You’re almost on your way!
