Getting a Mortgage in Aruba
If you need financing to make your dream of owning a home in Aruba a reality, local banks offer mortgage options for both residents and non-residents. Each bank has its own requirements, but common documentation includes:
Valid identification
A bank reference letter
Employment or income verification
Copies of the appraisal report and sales agreement
In most cases, banks in Aruba will finance up to 60% of the property’s value. Buyers should also budget for a closing fee of around 1.5% of the total loan amount, which is standard for mortgage processing.
