Although the applicant is in possession of "Landings Permit", the applicant still needs to obtain a visitor's visa in order to enter the island.
Visa cannot be issued on additional pages of passport.
Airport transit visa is not required for Indian nationals to stay in the transit zone for up to 48 hours in anyone of the islands. If the stay required is for more than 48 hours at the Antilles, then a visitor visa has to be obtained.
On presentation of all relevant documents, visa could be issued between 72 hours to eight days. For certain cases the application may have to be submitted to the competent authorities in Netherlands Antilles/Aruba, hence the issuance of visa might take up to 4-8 weeks.
