DIMAS Processes 26,413 Admission Permits in 2025

ORANJESTAD (AAN): The Department of Integration, Management, and Admission of Foreigners (DIMAS) has reported impressive progress in processing admission petitions, having attended to a total of 26,413 cases in 2025.

Of this total, 97.5% have been fully processed, with decisions or advisories issued — whether positive or negative. The figures also include individuals who have received temporary admission to Aruba (VTA) to complete their final medical tests. Once DIMAS receives the final medical results, the definitive decision will be issued electronically.

Less than 3% of 2025 petitions remain to be processed, and DIMAS reports it is actively working to clear this backlog.

The department’s efforts reflect an ongoing commitment to efficient service delivery for all clients seeking admission to Aruba.
