Antigua &and Barbuda Entry Form

ArriveAntigua is the online arrival/departure form for travelers.

You should complete it within 72 hours before you land. You can apply even earlier through iVisa for your peace of mind and you don't need a phone or tablet.

After submitting, you’ll get a QR code to show at immigration (and sometimes customs).

Antigua and Barbuda e-Visa/EEV*

The Electronic Entry Visa (EEV) is Antigua and Barbuda’s online visa for travelers who aren’t visa-exempt and don’t qualify for visa on arrival.

You apply through the official immigration site, completing the form with your personal and trip details, uploading a passport bio page, a recent digital photo, and any supporting documents (like proof of accommodation or onward travel), then paying by card.

After approval you receive an EEV travel letter by email, which you should print or keep on your phone to present at check-in and on arrival.

Note: This is not the same as the digital arrival form. All travelers, including visa-exempt visitors, required the arrival form.

*We currently don't offer the Antigua Electronic Entry Visa (EEV).

Antigua & Barbuda visa policy

Antigua and Barbuda offers visa-free entry for many nationalities - including the UK, EU countries, the US, Canada, and lots of Caribbean neighbors - for tourism or business. Usually stays can last up to 90 days (in some cases up to 6 months, depending on nationality). If your passport is from a country that does require a visa, you’ll need to apply before you travel for an Electronic Entry Visa (e-Visa/EEV) through the official government portal.

For entry, you need a valid passport, a return or onward ticket, and proof of where you’re staying such as a hotel booking or invitation letter. You may also be asked to show you have enough funds for your trip. If you’re traveling from a country with yellow-fever risk, you must bring proof of vaccination

Antigua and Barbuda now uses a digital arrival/departure entry form called ArriveAntigua. All international travelers must complete it within 72 hours before arrival, and it replaces the old paper disembarkation card. You receive a QR code to show at immigration. The system is designed for speedier processing at V.C. Bird International Airport.

FAQs

How long does my passport have to be valid for entry to Antigua & Barbuda?

Antigua and Barbuda generally expects your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date (or at minimum beyond your planned departure).

Airlines often enforce this at check-in, so having extra validity avoids last-minute stress, or apply for a new passport well before your trip.

What documents might immigration ask me for on arrival?

Be ready to show your return/onward ticket and proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter).

An officer may also ask for evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, like bank statements.

What is the ArriveAntigua entry form and when should I fill it out?

ArriveAntigua is the online arrival/departure form for travelers.

You should complete it within 72 hours before you land. You can apply even earlier through iVisa for your peace of mind.

After submitting, you’ll get a QR code to show at immigration (and sometimes customs).

Can I complete the Antigua entry form on my laptop?

Yes, when applying through iVisa. The official ArriveAntigua form is designed for mobile or tablet use. Do it on your phone if you can, then screenshot/save the QR code for easy access when you arrive.

However, if you'd like to complete it on your laptop, iVisa offers a simplified online process. We'll do the registration on your behalf, so you don't need a mobile device.

How long can I stay when I enter as a tourist?

Most visitors are granted a short stay on arrival — often up to 90 days initially, depending on nationality and the border officer. If you want, you can apply for an extension before your time runs out.

Do I need any vaccines to enter Antigua and Barbuda?

Only in specific cases: if you’re arriving from a country with yellow-fever risk, you must show a yellow-fever vaccination certificate.

Otherwise, no special vaccines are routinely required, though staying up to date on standard travel health advice is smart.

Can I bring food, plants, or animal products in my luggage?

You need to declare items like fresh food, plants, seeds, or animal products.

Some may be restricted or require inspection, so it’s best to be upfront on the customs section of the entry form.

What currency and payment options should I expect at the airport?

The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD), but US dollars are widely accepted. ATMs and card payments are common, though having some cash for taxis or small purchases is useful.

Is there anything that commonly causes entry problems for travelers?

The big ones are passport validity, missing return/onward tickets, unclear accommodation plans, or not completing the ArriveAntigua form ahead of time. Keeping those sorted usually means a smooth entry.
