UK travelers visiting Antigua and Barbuda: Complete your Entry Form in advance

Whether you're chasing sunshine during winter or escaping for a Caribbean honeymoon, UK travelers must submit the Antigua and Barbuda Entry Form before departure.

Do UK citizens need to complete the Antigua and Barbuda Entry Form?

Yes. Even though British passport holders don’t need a visa for Antigua and Barbuda (for stays under 180 days), you must still fill out the Entry Form before entering the country.

This requirement is part of Antigua and Barbuda’s move toward a more digital, secure, and efficient border process.

💡 Sophie Walker, a UK-based travel blogger, shares:

“Don’t confuse it with a visa. It’s more like a pre-arrival heads-up. Took me 5 minutes, and iVisa made it stress-free.”

Is the form also required for cruise passengers and short stays?

Absolutely. Whether you’re flying from the United Kingdom or joining a Caribbean cruise, you’ll need to submit the form in advance:

• UK-Antigua direct flights from London Gatwick
• Cruise stopovers from Southampton-based lines
• Private jets or chartered yachts

⛔ The Entry Form is mandatory regardless of how short your visit is.

When should UK travelers complete the form?

The form must be submitted within 72 hours before arrival. However, don’t wait until the last minute.

If you apply through iVisa, you can submit your details earlier and let us handle the timing. We’ll make sure it’s filed on time and correctly, no stress, no surprises.

How can UK citizens apply for the Entry Form?

There are two main ways to apply:

• Through the official Antigua and Barbuda government site

💡 James Thompson, UK tour operator, suggests:

“A minor injury abroad can cost thousands. Travel insurance may not be mandatory, but it's common sense.”

Is there a fee for the Entry Form?

The Entry Form is free on the official government website.

However, if you choose iVisa, we charge a small fee in exchange for:

• Early form submission
• Expert error-checking
• 24/7 support
• Time saved (and no last-minute panic)
