The island of each ruling. The site cited cases from Aruba, Sint Maarten and Bonaire as if they were from Curaçao: 99 of the 172 rulings are from another island. Now each one shows its island, and the Curaçao rule is cited from its source.
Reporting a change (divorce, dismissal, end of studies). It said “6 weeks to report”, based on a Sint Maarten case. The official instruction (HIG 2006, 3.1.3) requires you to report immediately and gives 6 weeks to request a change of permit.
The first 30 days. The guarantee deposit appeared after collecting the permit. It is paid before: when you collect it, you are asked for the receipt and local health insurance (HIG 2006, 3.12, and the Rib'e Lugá policy).
Repealed rules. “After 5 years the permit is no longer tied to the employer” and the “intermediate routes” came from a 2006 section repealed in 2019.
Withdrawal of a permit after a conviction (LTU, art. 14). Two texts said “more than 3 months”; the law says 3 months or more of unconditional imprisonment.
ECLI:NL:OGHACMB:2026:71. It said “more than 25 years of residence and a permanent permit”. The ruling says legal residence since 1999, an indefinite permit since 2013 and withdrawal in 2023.
Nationality. The spouse's period (Rijkswet, art. 8) and the exceptions to renunciation (art. 9) were corrected, and a list of countries allowing dual nationality and a Kranshi step without a source were removed.
Investors. It was taken as fact that the 2014 order set ANG 1,000,000 for the indefinite permit; only its Spanish version says so (the English one says ANG 1,500,000).
Moving to another island. It is no longer handled as a simple change of permit: that rule dates from the Netherlands Antilles, which existed until 2010.
Work permit. The minimum wage is the full one from age 18, and the 2025 moratorium (P.B. 2025, no. 78) replaces the 2021 one and does not mention hospitality.
Two ruling summaries (ECLI:NL:OGEAC:2023:240 and ECLI:NL:OGHACMB:2022:158, from Sint Maarten) spoke of “the same couple”; the rulings do not say so.
Detention and the European Court (Y.F.C. and Others v. the Netherlands, 21-4-2026). The article said the Court accepted that the detention had a legal basis and that rubber bullets were fired during unrest at the detention centre. The Court did not examine whether the detention was lawful (that complaint was not admitted because no appeal had been lodged with the Curaçao court), and the force was used while they were being transferred to the prison.
Monthly minimum wage. Two articles gave about XCG 2,066 a month (the SER's figure). On a 40-hour week the SOAW ministry gives XCG 2,067.87. The legal figure, XCG 11.93 an hour, is unchanged (P.B. 2025, no. 236).

Rib'e Lugá. A note said “a group of 10 people lost their permit” (ECLI:NL:OGHACMB:2024:22). They never had it: it was refused.
Scams. ECLI:NL:OGHACMB:2026:71 was cited as a conviction for giving false information; it was a 10-year sentence for other crimes.
Detention. The article called the people in two 2023 rulings “a couple”; the rulings do not say so.
BX0418 (Brooks Tower) was described the wrong way round in the article “If Rib'e Lugá refuses you” and in the rulings analysis.

24 September 2026

Number of rulings. The site said 176; 4 were not about immigration. There are 172.
The border. The article said Bolivians were visa-exempt and required passports to be “valid for 6 months”; both were wrong.

21 September 2026

Consulates. A consulate email address was wrong.
Driving test. The rule was the wrong way round (“if you fail, you lose the money”).
Photos. Four photos showed another country (the United Kingdom) in articles about Curaçao; they were removed.
