Antigua and Barbuda Tourist Visa

The first thing you need to be eligible to apply is a valid passport that expires no earlier than 6 months from your intended arrival date. You’re also asked to provide documents proving you have a place to stay and enough money for the duration of your trip.

When you arrive you have to show your passport and your approved eVisa and you’ll have your fingerprints taken at this time.

If you’re travelling with companions, everyone in your group must have their own separate eVisa, even if they are infants or children listed in your own passport.

You need to get a yellow fever vaccination before your trip if you’re travelling from a country where there’s a risk of this disease. See more information about countries that require a vaccination on the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) website.
