Wereldreizigers.nl (World Travelers dot NL)TRAVEL NEWS – October 27, 2021: Curaçao accepts the CoronaCheck (NL) and CovidSafeBE app (BE) as of today October 27. Other travelers from EU countries are also accepted if they have a EU Digital Corona Certificate (EU DCC) on which the CoronaCheck and CovidSafeBE app are also based.
The Netherlands exempt from extra tests
The Netherlands is classified as a country with a low risk, which means that the testing obligation will lapse. Travelers who have been fully vaccinated more than two weeks before departure and who can demonstrate this with the digital corona proof in the CoronaCheck app are now exempted by Curaçao from a corona test before departure and the antigen test on the 3rd day after arrival.
