However, several nationalities must present a Visa as part of the entry requirements. On the website, www.curacao.com, you’ll find a complete list of nationalities that don’t need a visa. If your country is not on this list, then you will need a Visa to travel to Curaçao.In order to have adequate time to obtain the Visa, for students whose nationalities are not found in the above listing, students should submit their application no later than 3 months before their desired start date.
