Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

Dutch nationals, and US or EU nationals, who have been admitted to Aruba for more than five years either by operation of law or by permit are listed as a non-temporary residence purpose.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The source does not explicitly state that a right to reside arises by operation of law; it only lists this category as a non-temporary residence purpose.

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

The basis is nationality combined with prior admission: Dutch nationals, and US or EU nationals, who have been admitted to Aruba for more than five years, either by operation of law or under a permit.
