Curaçao

Curaçao is located in the southern Caribbean Sea, just north of Venezuela, and is the largest island of the former Netherlands Antilles. With an area of 444 km² and a population of approximately 156,000 (2025), it is a major regional hub in the Dutch Caribbean.

On October 10, 2010, Curaçao became a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with its own legal and fiscal autonomy. Curaçao boasts a diverse economy with active sectors in tourism, real estate, financial services, professional services, construction, and public-private partnership projects. The jurisdiction is known for its legal infrastructure, multilingual workforce, and accessibility.
