All About Visas for Antigua and Barbuda
The Caribbean nation composed of 2 islands called Antigua and Barbuda has a convenient Electronic Visa (eVisa) system which eliminates the need to visit an embassy to apply for a travel authorisation. Tourists from more than 90 countries are eligible to apply online, while many others may enter visa-free.
For example, if you’re from India, Mexico or the Philippines, you do require a visa and may apply electronically. On the other hand, if you’re from the UK, the US, Australia, New Zealand or most of Europe, you may enter without a visa for up to 180 days.
Applying with Byevisa is the best choice to get your eVisa. We give you the flexibility to apply from any internet-connected device anywhere you are in the world, and we send your approved travel pass to your email inbox when it’s ready.
Antigua and Barbuda offers 2 types of eVisas that have different fees and validity periods:
- The Single-Entry e-Visa is valid for a stay of up to 180 days and costs 100 USD.
- The Multiple-Entry e-Visa allows you to enter and exit as many times as you wish for up to 12 months and the government fee is 200 USD.
Byevisa charges a fee to process your paperwork, and our prices start at 35 USD.
Here at Byevisa we’ve provided all the information you need to get started on your journey to Antigua and Barbuda. Find out how to obtain your eVisa below, and click ‘Apply Now’ to get yours!

Antigua and Barbuda Visa on Arrival Versus E-Visa
The difference between these 2 types of visas is that you apply for an eVisa before your trip by completing our online form, and then you receive your official travel document by email. Then, upon arrival in the country, all you need to do is show your e-Visa and passport to the border officials, you get fingerprinted and can pass straight through.
On the other hand, a Visa on Arrival (VoA) may be obtained in some countries when you arrive at the border checkpoint by standing in a long line to fill out forms by hand and pay the visa fee. Antigua and Barbuda does not offer a VoA option to most visitors, while all visitors who need a visa can apply in advance for an electronic authorisation.
