Proof of medical insurance to travel to Curacao?

[splash8]

We are SO excited to visit Curacao for the first time! We fly out tomorrow & are staying at AllWest...we've been to Bonaire numerous times but never Curacao! Also this will be our first time with our kids who are newly certified. We plan to do lots of easy shore dives!

I saw that Curacao requires medical traveler's insurance. Our regular health insurance covers our medical when we travel internationally and I printed the page that states that. Will that suffice? Thanks to the poster that shared filling out e-immagration ahead of time too!

Would love to know if there are any must-do land activities for almost 13 & 15 yr olds! They are interested in beginning surfing too...though I'd rather spend most of our water time on scuba! Any tips welcome! Thank you!

Haven't been asked to show coverage in 4 trips (I {Family] do have regular health insurance, and DAN), the most recent being 12/2023...

As to activities, if you are into it, the SUP is a nice trip. We also did a buggy/ATV tour and enjoyed it. But yeah, the diving thing has been the priority.... thankfully, the daughter had increased her desire to dive as we returned each time...

According to this Curaçao: The Caribbean Getaway That Sets You Free medical traveler’s insurance is advised, but not required. If you have DAN, you should be all set.

Have a great trip!

Was there last August. Don’t recall being required or asked. Certainly never showed any proof.

Vacationed there a month ago and was never asked about insurance. Per the above post, definitely have diving insurance.

BTW, if you plan a day trip to Willemstad, shoot for Thursday. They do a fireworks display down by the church on the Otrobanda side. Good eateries there as well. My understanding is, they do the fireworks every Thursday.

I've never heard of anyone being asked. Just show them a credit card if necessary and your DAN card.

We have DAN for the family…you were both correct, no one asked for proof!

That sounds fun…thanks for sharing!

I sat and watched them from my porch at Bon Bini.
