Although payments with debt and credit cards are accepted, remember that payments with DISCOVERY cards are not possible.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>I used to visit Bonaire without having to pay any Visitor Tax. Why paying it now? <\/strong><\/h3> <p>As of July 2022, the Island of Bonaire introduced the new Bonaire Visitor Tax which replaced the existing Room and Car rental taxes. This is the reason foreign visitors to the island are now asked to pay the new tax before stepping on Bonaire land.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Is Bonaire Tax a single-pay tax?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>This tax is single-paid and is valid for every single visit to the Island.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Can I pay my Bonaire Tax if I don\u2019t know the departure date?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>It is impossible to successfully complete the online application form without choosing an arrival and departure dates.

Is it possible?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Although the questionnaire offers the opportunity to apply on behalf of up to five travelers, you could choose to complete and pay for five different applications instead. In this case, instead of five different QR Codes in a single email, you will receive five different emails with a single QR Code in each of them.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>I\u2019m not a Bonaire resident but I work for the Rijksdienst Caribisch Nederland.
