WILLEMSTAD – In line with legislation in force since 28 December 2016, the Curaçao Chamber of Commerce & Industry is authorized to dissolve legal entities that do not comply with statutory requirements, enabling Curaçao to meet its international obligations. The most recent list of entities
proposed for dissolution was issued on 13 January 2026.
This measure follows recommendations made by the OECD after its March 2015 evaluation, which called for a review of existing legal entities—including companies, cooperatives, associations, foundations, and private foundation companies—to ensure compliance with key legal requirements. These include the registration of a managing director who is reachable at the entity’s registered
address and the timely payment of Trade Register fees.
As part of this ongoing review process, the Chamber has published a list of entities that currently lack a registered managing director or have not met their payment obligations. The entities concerned have six weeks from the publication date to regularize their status by appointing a reachable managing director and settling outstanding fees, in order to avoid dissolution.
The list is published on the Chamber’s website and in the Official Gazette (Landscourant) of 30 January 2026. All entities, including foundations, are strongly advised to verify whether they appear on the list and take timely action to remain registered. Entities that fail to comply will be dissolved
and removed from the Trade Register.
