You must pass a Dutch civic integration exam and prove stable and sufficient income to support yourself.
How long can a US citizen live in Aruba?
Sorting out residency Americans can stay up to 90 days in Aruba visa-free, but if you're planning a real move, you'll need a residency permit. Applications go through Aruba's DIMAS office and require proof of income, a clean criminal record, health insurance, and a valid passport.
