Becoming a pensioner in Curacao offers many advantages, including the possibility to apply for both a pensioner and annuitant permit and to benefit from tax advantages.
This sunny island is not only attractive because of its warm climate and numerous activities for retirees, but also because of its favourable tax climate.
With the pensionado scheme you may be able to benefit from tax advantages on your pension income, while the annuitants permit offers you the opportunity to reside in Curaçao for a long period of time with your own assets.
One of the biggest advantages of retiring in Curaçao is the warm and sunny climate. All year round you can enjoy pleasant temperatures and a refreshing breeze from the sea. The island offers a myriad of activities for retirees, including hiking, golfing and exploring the many historic sites.
In addition, Curaçao has a favorable tax climate for pensioners. You can appeal to the so-called pensionado scheme. The island has tax treaties with various countries, so you may be able to benefit from tax benefits on your pension income. This can make life as a pensioner on Curaçao financially attractive.
Do you have an equity of more than 36,000 ANG (Gulden) and do you receive interest on this? Then you can apply for a rentier permit for Curaçao. You will be granted this permit for a period of one year and after this year you can apply for an extension.
It is important that these funds are in the account with a bank, as you need a bank statement of your assets and income for this permit.
With a pensioners permit you are not yet entitled to tax benefits, because you only have this with the pension scheme. Of course you can appeal to this later.

fees: These are the administrative costs charged by the Admissions Board of Curaçao, only for processing the permit application. The fees for both the pensioner's and renter's permit are 635 ANG (Guldens - currency Curaçao).
Deposit: An deposit is an amount paid by a person as a guarantee or security for the fulfillment of certain obligations or to cover possible damage. If you are admitted to Curaçao and you have a nationality other than the Dutch or American, you must pay a deposit. This is part of the immigration or visa procedure.
Document costs: There are costs associated with obtaining the necessary documents, such as a birth certificate, etc. These costs vary depending on where you obtain the documents.
