 Kralendijk : Profile
Yachts clearing in must call the Harbour Master on Channel 16 (or phone (599)-717- 8151) and proceed to the arrivals dock at the marina.
Clear with Customs and Immigration. The customs office is near by and is open 24 hours a day seven days a week and no overtime is charged.
The Immigration office is across the street from the Phone Company and Police station. Check in at the police station if Immigration is closed.
Arrivals are granted a two week visa and getting an 90-day extension is usually not a problem.
