The government has confirmed the implementation of the visa requirement for Venezuelan nationals seeking entry to our island. This decision marks a significant step toward restoring the security and order our community has sought throughout this process. I appreciate the dedication shown by everyone who maintained focus on this goal …

OUR VOICE MATTERS AND WE WILL BE HEARD.

TOGETHER AS ONE WE CAN MAKE OURSELVES HEARD!

WE WILL GO TO THE KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS WITH THIS PETITION....IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES.

We are signing this petition because we as an Aruban Community want to bring forth immediate changes to what is happening on our island. We have people of several countries living on our island for many years. Many tourists visiting our island and many come to our island every year whom we call our Island Ambassadors. For many years Aruba has been safe and a happy island..or known where happiness lives. But today this is not the case, which we as a whole community live in fear and are disgusted on the way the Venezuelan people are coming to our island and breaking laws, manipulating, disrespecting, trespassing, committing crimes to our humble and once happy but now angry local citizens. Even tourists that come to relax on our beautiful white beaches and crystalline waters are being disturbed. We want to know who are coming to our island.

We want our safe & relaxed island back!

We want VISA application for all VENEZUELANS.

Hundreds of Venezuelueans are travelling to Aruba to sleep under trees and also they are disturbing Americans tourists and locals with ilegal transactions outside the supermarkets. The government is not taking proper actions to protect our citizens.

I vacation is Aruba every year for the last 8. Several factors such as cost, taxes and increase in crime already had us looking at other destinations. Now if this problem continues or get worse, we will regrettably be moving on to other islands.

I was born and raised on Aruba for 18 years. This issue isn't a recent one. This has been going on for as a long as I can remember, which ultimately lead me to leave the island for good. I hope this is a step to the right path for my beautiful Aruba.

It is sad, but necessary. The tourism we used to get from them is no longer even visiting and spending like before then leaving like normal tourists. Their situation on their country saddens me, but we have to take care of our island as well.

As a timeshare owner of 29 years, I come twice a year. Your government has made this once small beautiful island become unsafe, over populated with resorts, and people will no longer want to visit your small island, and we are your livelihood. Bring Aruba Back. Restore it's beauty. Your beautiful people. Keep your dignity. Do not become America
