Hello Bhavna,

It really depends on what permitting you have in Aruba! You must atleast stay 10 to 15 years permit without denial of a paper each year and you must take a test of "papiamento" which is he language here and "dutch" you must pass that in order to be qualified!

Dual citizen ship I am not sure if it is Holland don't want dual ship or Philippines itself ! However in my case I am not allowed to have dual passport !

This year I just submitted mine and it takes one year for the process and since I was a student here from highschool to college I didn't have to do any test!

Hope this helps!
