## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba: residual ordinary passports require a Caribbean visa** (Visa required)
  The current Dutch Government page supplies an explicit residual visa requirement after the named nationality and conditional exceptions; this is advance Caribbean-visa treatment, not eVisa or visa on arrival.
  - The current official portal explicitly makes a Caribbean visa required if no listed visa-free situation applies; an application channel does not establish eVisa or visa-on-arrival access.
  - Valid multiple-entry Schengen/UK/Ireland/US/Canada documents and specified residence permits may waive the visa for particular travellers; these conditional routes are not nationality-wide passport classifications.
  - The Caribbean short-stay visa is not valid for the European Netherlands or another Schengen country, is normally at most 90 days in 180, and does not authorize paid work.
  - For Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, the stated short-stay maximum is 90 consecutive days in 180.
