Frequently asked questions about getting the Antigua & Barbuda visa with a Canada passport

Do Canadian citizens need a visa for a 6 months stay in Antigua and Barbuda?

No. Canadian citizens can enter Antigua and Barbuda visa-free for tourism or business for up to six months (180 days). While you'll receive an entry stamp upon arrival, you must ensure your Canadian passport is valid for at least six months from your date of arrival and that you have a confirmed onward or return flight.

Is the ArriveAntigua digital form mandatory for entry?

Yes. To facilitate a paperless entry, all travelers must complete the ArriveAntigua digital immigration and customs form within 72 hours before arrival. This system is specifically designed for mobile devices and tablets. Upon completion, you'll receive a QR code that must be presented to immigration officials at V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU) to clear the border.

Can I work remotely from the island as a Canadian?

Yes, but you'll need a specific visa. While you cannot work for a local employer on a visa-free entry, you can apply for the Nomad Digital Residence (NDR) visa. This allows Canadians to live and work remotely in Antigua and Barbuda for up to two years. You must prove an annual income of at least $50,000 USD ( approximately $68,000 CAD) and maintain valid health insurance. The application fee is $1,500 USD for a single applicant.

How do I extend my stay beyond the initial period?

If you wish to stay longer than the time granted by the immigration officer, you must apply for an Extension of Stay at the Immigration Department in St. John’s. It's recommended to apply at least 15 days before your current permission expires. You’ll need to provide your passport, proof of sufficient funds, a return ticket, and pay a processing fee of approximately $300 XCD (approximately $150 CAD).

What happens if I overstay my visa-exempt period?

Overstaying is a criminal offense. If you remain in the country beyond your authorized stay without an extension, you'll be subject to fines, potential deportation, and a permanent blacklist from the country. If an emergency arises (such as a medical issue) that prevents you from leaving, you must contact the Immigration Department immediately to regularize your status and avoid legal penalties.
