What to bring to Aruba: highlighted

Highlighted items:

  • Money: The currency is the Aruban florin (AWG), but the US dollar (USD) is accepted everywhere.

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.

Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.

Aruba: Updates & Travel

Travel in Aruba?

  • As many people know, Aruba is the ideal vacation destination if you love sun, sea and beach! Aruba has other sides as well. Walk the haystack and look out over the island, walk among the cheerfully colored houses in Oranjestad (Playa) or admire the beautiful colors of the butterflies, on display in the butterfly garden.
  • Bubali bird sanctuary is a reserve near Palmbeach. It is the ideal place for bird and nature lovers, as this small nature reserve is set up as a resting and breeding place for eighty species of birds.
  • Visit Haystack. Hike this prominent mountain (with stairs) to admire the entire island from the top in clear weather.
  • Go to the Donkey Sanctuary. Contribute to this donkey sanctuary project by paying a small entrance fee. See and cuddle the many donkeys. 
  • JoHotspots in Aruba
  • Moomba beach is one of the most popular beaches in Aruba, as there are many restaurants and bars here. There are also water activities to do and, of course, you can sunbathe and swim.
  • Conchi is a natural pool. It has a calm water section, where you can swim and snorkel. The pool is enclosed by high rocks that protect you from the high waves and strong currents of the ocean.
  • Be prepared to bump into the cruise ship/tourist invasion. Because Aruba is such a wonderful vacation destination, about half a million tourists come by plane or cruise ship every year while Aruba itself has a population of just under 100,000.

Toeristenvisum

Wanneer je als toerist of bezoeker 30 dagen op Aruba verblijft en je hebt de Nederlands paspoort, dan heb je geen visum nodig. Je mag maximaal 30 dagen achter elkaar op Aruba verblijven en in totaal 180 dagen per jaar.

Als je naar de Caribische Koninkrijksdelen reist, zijn er wel voorwaarden: 

  • Je paspoort is niet ouder dan 10 jaar en geldig tijdens je hele bezoek.
  • Je hebt een bewijs dat je kunt terugkeren of doorreizen naar een ander land. Dit is bijvoorbeeld een paspoort, verblijfsvergunning, ticket of visum.
  • Je kunt de reden van uw bezoek aantonen. Bijvoorbeeld met een hotelboeking of een uitnodiging van familie of vrienden.
  • Je hebt genoeg geld om je verblijf en andere onkosten te betalen:
    • Bij verblijf in een hotel: tussen de 150 en 200 Amerikaanse dollar per persoon, per dag.
    • Bij verblijf bij familie: 100 Amerikaanse dollar per persoon, per dag.
    • Heb je een garantverklaring? Dan is je garantsteller financieel verantwoordelijk.
  • Je hebt een geldige ziektekostenverzekering of reisverzekering voor medische kosten. De minimale dekking is 15.000 Amerikaanse dollar. Je verzekering dekt ziekenhuisbehandelingen, spoedbehandelingen en repatriëring (ook in het geval van overlijden).
  • Je vormt geen bedreiging voor de openbare orde, volksgezondheid, nationale veiligheid of internationale betrekkingen.

Let op: Ook als je aan deze voorwaarden voldoet, kunnen de lokale autoriteiten soms beslissen je niet toe laten. Of om je toe te laten voor een kortere periode dan de maximale verblijfsduur. Check de laatste stand van zaken (zie link).

Studie/werk

Als je voor studie, opleiding of werk in Aruba stage wil lopen (stagiair) of werkervaring op wil doen (praktikant) heb je een verblijfsvergunning nodig. Let op: De periode van je verblijf in Aruba mag niet langer zijn dan twaalf maanden. Om in aanmerking te komen voor een verblijfsvergunning als stagiair, moet je aan de volgende voorwaarden voldoen:

  1. Je bent meerderjarig (18 jaar of ouder).
  2. Je bent verbonden aan een studie of opleiding buiten Aruba.
  3. je hebt inkomsten uit bijvoorbeeld studiefinanciering of stage vergoeding.

  3. Bewijs inschrijving opleiding erkende opleidingsinstituut buitenland
  4. Bewijs van inkomsten/budget
  5. Justitiële documentatie

  7. Bewijs van privé verzekering

 

Studeren in het buitenland: Rechten studie op Aruba

Studeren in het buitenland: Rechten studie op Aruba

Het is bijna zover, 11 augustus vertrek ik naar Aruba! Daar zal ik een half jaar gaan studeren, culturen ontdekken en het land ontdekken.

Heel wat ideetjes gevonden bij 'We are travellers' om te gaan doen in Aruba. Ik ga ze proberen af te vinken en laten weten hoe dit was.

  1. Relaxen op een van de velen stranden
  2. Voor de visliefhebbers: verse vis bij Zeerovers
  3. Op avontuur in het Arikok National Park
  4. Diner op bed bij Screaming Eagle
  5. Lekker ontbijtje bij Craft
  6. Ronddwalen en shoppen in Oranjestad
  7. California Lighthouse

Waarom ga ik rechten studeren op Aruba?

Het is natuurlijk al een pluspunt dat zij tot Nederland behoren. Het is ten eerste gemakkelijk hierdoor voor de taal, je legt gemakkelijk contact met de lokale bevolking hier. Ook de studie is gemakkelijker te volgen dan dat het in het Engels was geweest, aangezien je dit als rechtenstudent niet gewend bent. Daarnaast is het qua reizen en verblijf erg makkelijk, als Nederlander mag je hier 180 dagen verblijven terwijl andere studenten een extra visum aan moeten vragen na dertig dagen. 

Een ander voordeel aan Aruba is natuurlijk dat hun recht gebaseerd is op de Nederlandse wet, dus de werkwijze en de basis is voor ons als Nederlanders al bekend. Dit maakt de studie meer begrijpelijk. 

Het derde voordeel van Aruba is natuurlijk het mooie weer, de relaxte sfeer en de leuke mensen. Vooral voor drukke en mensen vol stress is dit de ultieme test, maar ook de ultieme lering. Daarnast zijn alle mensen hier erg sociaal, iedereen wil je helpen en dat is erg prettig. Voor een goede studiesfeer dien je zeker naar Aruba te gaan! 

Al met al zou ik het dus ten zeerste aanbevelen om naar het buitenland te gaan om te studeren, in principe maakt het niet uit waar je heen gaat want het hoofddoel wordt al bereikt door het avontuur aan te gaan! Het land is afhankelijk van wat je wil en wat je voorkeuren zijn, maar de optie Aruba is zeker de overweging waard!

"Yes, aangenomen om naar het buitenland te gaan!"

Na een aantal weken was het hoge woord eruit, ik kreeg de mail met de felicitatie "This is just a heads up, more information will follow! We are pleased to inform you that you have been nominated for an exchange period abroad at the Faculty of Law of  the University of Aruba during the first semester of 2018-2019." 

Daar stond het dan, zwart op wit, ik mag naar Aruba. Op dat moment onwetend van alle verplichtingen die hieraan zaten verbonden. Het was een erg moeizame voorbereidingsprocedure. Vooral de buitenlandse universiteiten, vooral de universiteiten in tropenklimaten, staan erom bekend dat zij niet al te snel reageren. Na een aantal maanden, een maand voor de eerste deadline waarbij we alles moesten inleveren kreeg ik een reactie van de universiteit in Aruba, het proces kon beginnen. 

Je moet niet vergeten dat er van alles belangrijk is, vanuit je eigen universiteit willen ze dat je genoeg punten gaat halen en je tijd nuttig gaat besteden. Vanuit Aruba willen ze weten met wie ze te maken krijgen en hoeveel en welke vakken je gaat volgen. Daarnaast willen ze van de imigratiedienst ook talloze gegevens weten om jou als student een half jaar in hun land te laten. Het is erg belangrijk om alle informatie goed aan te leveren. En vergeet niet de deadlines, te laat is toch echt te laat. Soms zijn uitzonderingen mogelijk, maar meestal dien je een passende oplossing te vinden. Bijvoorbeeld was er in mijn geval voor aruba nog geen studiegids beschikbaar voor het komende studiejaar, zo kon ik mij niet aanmelden voor vakken en het benodigde ECTS aangeven. Men gaf ons de mogelijkheid om te kiezen uit het studiepakket van het voorgaande jaar, gelukkig is er de mogelijkheid om je vakken na de deadline en tijdens je verblijf nog te wijzigen. 

Let op, de deadlines vliegen voorbij vooral aangezien deze 1 juni en 1 juli betreffen dus rondom de tentamens. 

Voor de immigratiedienst vraagt de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen je veel gegevens om in te leveren, eigenlijk zijn deze in geval van Aruba voor Nederlandse studenten overbodig. Nederlanders kunnen namelijk 180 dagen verblijven in Aruba zonder hiervoor naar de immigratiedienst te hoeven, handig! Echter is het voor jezelf wel erg prettig om de zorgverzekeringen en belangrijke zaken voor jezelf op orde te hebben. 

De Rijksuniversiteit Groningen biedt de mogelijkheid voor Erasmus-studenten een studiebeurs aan te vragen, voor studenten buiten Europa heet dit de 'Marco Polo Beurs'. Dit moet je zeker doen, de bedragen zijn altijd mooi meegenomen. Men dient aan een aantal voorwaarden te voldoen door van allerlei papieren in te leveren, het moeilijkste punt zal nog zijn om je ECTS te behalen. Nog een extra reden om je goed voor te bereiden en je tentamens te halen. 

Dan het leukere deel, een huisje zoeken! Er is van alles mogelijk, van een studio tot een huis tot een appartement. Het is maar net hoe je het zelf wilt hebben. De universiteit geeft meerdere mogelijkheden voor verblijven, er zijn grote verblijven waar meerdere studenten en vakantiegangers verblijven in kamers of voor soortgelijke plekken maar dan met appartementen. Een van de vriendinnen hier huurde bijvoorbeeld een studio bij een advocatenkantoor. Het andere meisje dat ook was aangenomen om te gaan studeren in Aruba leerde ik beter kennen, wij besloten om samen een appartement te zoeken. Uiteindelijk na gesprekken met studenten van vorig jaar en eigen onderzoek zijn wij bij een leuk appartement terecht gekomen. Wij hebben besloten om hier geen auto bij te huren, dit hebben wij later ter plekke gedaan. Let op: een auto is nodig in Aruba, hier later meer over!

Al met al is mijn advies dus ook, regel alles zo vroeg mogelijk, voor je het weet is de dealine voorbij! Een goed begin is het halve werk. Dan kun je later alleen nog maar genieten zonder zorgen.

Contacten al voor de periode van vertrek

Vaak ben je niet de enige die gaat van jouw universiteit, meestal gaan er zelfs meerdere van je eigen studie mee. Het is dus leuk om uit te zoeken wie er nog meer mee gaan om informatie uit te wisselen en je eerste contacten voor daar al te leggen. Er worden bijvoorbeeld meetingen en borrels hiervoor georganiseerd! Misschien kun je met deze persoon samen een appartement huren of samen een auto. Wie weet al samen met het vliegtuig erheen en plannen maken wat je in Aruba wilt doen. 

In mijn geval mocht een ander meisje mee naar Aruba van rechten, wij hebben samen een auto, een huis en samen gevlogen naar Aruba. Verder mocht er vanuit de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen niemand van andere faculteiten naar Aruba. Toevallig leerden wij wel mensen van de Hanze Hogeschool Groningen kennen in Aruba. 

Daarnaast heeft iemand uit een ander land, ook Erasmusstudent, een facebookgroep aangemaakt met alle personen die mee zouden doen aan het Erasmusproject in Aruba. Zo leerden we elkaar al een beetje kennen en konden we onze informatie uitwisselen, aangezien dit niet altijd zo snel verloopt. Ook werden hier contacten gelegd tussen de mensen die nog niemand kenden, maar wel graag samen wilden wonen. 

Dus wacht niet met contact maken in Aruba, daar is natuurlijk veel ruimte voor. Alleen is het super handig om al contacten voor tijd gelegd te hebben en is het ook super leuk om er samen naartoe te leven! 

En vergeet niet je aan te melden voor de introductieweek en er ook op tijd heen te gaan! Net als in Nederland bij iedere introductie, worden hier de eerste contacten gelegd en ontstaan de eerste vriendschappen. 

De dag van vertrek is aangebroken, tijd om te gaan!

Wij vertrokken op tijd naar Aruba, een aantal dagen voordat de introductiedagen zouden beginnen. Dit was ten eerste vanwege het feit dat het goedkoper was om toen te vliegen, maar later kwam dit in de praktijk goed van pas. Wij hadden namelijk drie volle dagen last van een jetlag, ons hele ritme was door de war. We werden om 5 uur in de ochtend wakker en waren moe om 21 uur in de avond. Dat is ook niet gek te bedenken na een vlucht van tien uren en een tijdsverschil van zes uur. Vergis je daar niet in!

Na een afscheid met onze vrienden en familie konden we onze koffers inleveren en vertrokken we onze weg naar het vliegtuig naar Aruba!

Eenmaal aangekomen in Aruba, moesten we een formulier invullen waarom we naar Aruba kwamen en wat we er gingen doen. Dit verliep niet zo gemakkelijk als dat het leek, er waren twee rijen. Naturlijk werden wij naar de verkeerde rij gestuurd, want toen wij bij de douane kwamen bleek dat we een formulier moesten invullen en naar de andere rij gaan. Wat bleek, we stonden in de rij voor de lokale bevolkng oeps! Eenmaal ingevuld kwam er een douanevrouw naar ons toe die ons nogal ongepast behandelde, gelukkig werd na het inleveren van het formulier het een en ander duidelijk. De mensen geloofden alleen niet dat wij kwamen om te studeren en hielden vol dat we stage kwamen lopen, na een paar pogingen lieten we hen maar in deze waan. Toen het allemaal geregeld was, kregen we te horen dat we 180 dagen mochten verblijven zonder gedoe aangezien we Nederlanders zijn. Mooi meegenomen. Hop naar de taxi en naar ons plekje.

Wij verbleven in Sebrina's Resort, een aardig prijzig appartement maar na vergelijking met andere studenten bleek ons appartement achteraf het mooiste en ideaalste te zijn. Dus zeker een aanrader. In het donker was nog niet alles te zien, wel kregen we een mail dat de sleutel in een kluisje zou liggen. Eenmaal bij het resort aangekomen kwam het kamernummer op de envelop niet overeen met de sleutel, maar ach we waren moe en kropen snel in het appartement waarvan de sleutel hebben. Dat zien we morgen weer dachten we! Na de lange vlucht en drama op het vliegveld was het klaar om te slapen. 

De colleges beginnen!

Helemaal voorbereid op naar de eerste les, met ons laptopje zaten we klaar voor de eerste introductieles van het vak overheid & privaatrecht. Een vak waarbij 5 andere studenten zaten, heel wat anders dan in Nederland waar je met ruim 700 studenten college hebt. Het is een mastervak met dus weinig studenten, hierdoor was er tijdens de lesweken veel ruimte voor interactie. Dit was super leuk en maakte het vak veel begrijpelijker en je zat sneller in de stof. De docente was Nederlands en gaf ook les op de Nederlandse wijze. Het hele systeem op de universiteit is gebaseerd op het Nederlandse stelsel, de rechtenfaculteit is de enige 'echte' universitaire opleiding en deze is dan ook te vergelijken met de universiteiten zoals in Nederland. De bacheloropleiding is ook drie jaar lang en de vakken zijn vergelijkbaar net als de mastervakken. Hier is echter ruimte om te kiezen voor twee richtingen in plaats van vijf zoals in Nederland. Echter ben je als exchange student overal inzetbaar, als je nog zoals ons de bachelor niet hebt afgerond kun je bachelor en mastervakken naar keuze volgen. Als je al masterstudent bent, kun je natuurlijk alleen mastervakken kiezen. Maar de keuze staat open voor alle vakken, voor de vakken in de Nederlandse en in de internationale richting.

Wij hebben in blok 1 gekozen voor het vak 'overheid en privaatrecht' en het vak jeugdstrafrecht. Hierover later meer :)

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
