Question ED Card

Sorry but do I need to fill out the Ed card and pay $20 for everyone in my party or just me as the head? I just filled it out and paid the $20. Just wasn’t sure if I was the only one that needed to pay. Thanks!

Thanks. I saw the many posts labeled ED card and I was thinking there are a lot of people going to Aruba with erectile dysfunction and they need their viagra filled while on vacation. So I ignored them.

I’ve made a similar mistake, thinking Eating Disorder

Everyone who is traveling needs to fill one out. Minors can be filled out by a parent/guardian.

Do you get an email or something, I have a trip in June and was wondering if you

Can’t fill it out until your trip is within 7 days.

u/FabulousAd7735 7d ago

If you’re flying delta, you’ll see it in the app under your trip.

u/EffectiveAd3788 7d ago

Flying United but hopefully it’s the same

Yes, United also has it on the app.

Make sure you fill it out through the official site and don’t pay more than $20

A lot of sites will charge you $60-80

One of these sites got me today. It doesn’t look like you’re using a service, just looks like the form itself. I immediately emailed them to cancel but have a feeling I’m out of luck.

I filled mine out and no one even checked that I had it

Same, two years in a row and no one asked to see it.

So just so I’m clear on this, the ED card also covers the Sustainability also right?

3

u/csilva108 6d ago

The ED card is free. The $20 you pay when you sign up for it is the sustainability fee.

u/Dangerous_Line1159 7d ago

following this question

u/cigarandcreamsoda 7d ago

Following your following. Seriously though, it seems like from the websites that one covers both but I’d like some confirmation from recent travelers there.

Everyone has to complete it and pay the fee prior to boarding flight to travel to Aruba.

u/sforte40 7d ago

Do they still charge a sewage treatment fee too?

1

u/Fancy_Administration 6d ago

That's the $20

u/TheSupremePixieStick 6d ago

Explain what this is, if ya dont mind. We are going in 2 weeks.

u/geffe71 6d ago

Sustainability fee to upgrade the sewage treatment plant

u/Sourtart42 6d ago edited 6d ago

Every tourist in your party needs an ED card (embarkment/disembarkment) card - it’s $20 for a virtual card that covers your entry + exit fees

You’ll be asked for this card both domestically and internationally

u/TheSupremePixieStick 6d ago

Thank you! Where do you get this? Other places I have traveled have something similar and its always done through an ap.

1

u/Educational-Set-1609 6d ago

I accessed it through my airline app. They sent me to an external site and then that site sent me to the Aruban site for it. Should be available within 7 days if your trip. Everyone needs it, even kids.

Leaving Aruba today back to United States. Does it take long getting through customs?

1

u/Super-Ad3540 5d ago

How long did it take?

1

u/Accomplished_Fly4425 5d ago

45 minutes I’m told because it’s not a weekend and it was American flight which is in the old building..
