Travel insurance for Aruba
Short-trip cover for visits to Aruba: emergency medical, trip-cancellation, luggage, the usual travel-insurance stack. Designed for weeks-not-years stays.
Aruba's "One Happy Workation" is a tourism marketing package, not a real visa, so most nomads simply arrive as visitors and stay inside the tourist limit. Entry needs no insurance, but the moment you extend past 30 days Aruban immigration requires travel insurance with medical and liability cover. On an island with one general hospital, the consideration that should drive your policy is off-island medical evacuation, because critically ill patients are flown abroad at their own expense.
