PORTS OF ENTRY: Flamingo International Airport (by air) Kralendijk Port (by Sea)

A number of international carriers serve the island. There are direct international flights to Bonaire from the USA (Houston) and The Netherlands (Amsterdam). Plenty of indirect routes are available, whether coming from the US, Canada, South America, The Caribbean and the UK and usually involve going via Aruba or Curaçao.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Citizens of most countries in the world do not need a visa for their entry to the island. However, visitors from the certain countries are required to have a visa for stays of up to 3 months (90 days). The Netherlands Antilles has, as of the beginning of 2005, synchronized visa requirements among Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles with the Dutch Kingdom. The maximum total days that one can stay on the island is 90 days! If you wish to stay longer, you will need to go through the further procedures. For more details visit the infobonaire site.
