Questions?
What is the Sint Maarten ED Card?
The ED (Electronic Disembarkation) Card is an online entry form required for all travelers visiting Sint Maarten. It replaces the paper immigration card you used to receive on arrival and must be completed before you depart.
It makes the entry process easier and quicker for travelers arriving in the country.
Who needs to complete the ED Card?
All travelers arriving by air into Sint Maarten, regardless of nationality or residency status, must complete the online ED Card before their trip. Cruise passengers are typically exempt since they are processed differently, but always check with the company you’ve booked with.
When should I submit my ED Card application?
The form should be completed within 72 hours before arrival in Sint Maarten. Submitting too late may cause delays at immigration.
For your peace of mind, when applying through iVisa you can submit your details even earlier. We will submit the form on your behalf as soon as the window opens, so you don’t have to think about it. All details and the confirmation will be sent by email and can be found in your iVisa account.
Do I need to print the ED Card?
It is recommended to carry a printed copy or have a digital offline version on your mobile device, as immigration officers may request proof upon arrival, and internet or Wi-Fi may not be available.
What happens if I don’t fill out the ED Card?
Failure to complete the ED Card may result in denied boarding at the airline check-in counter or delays upon arrival in Sint Maarten.
We offer Super Rush services for those who need the form urgently.
