Tourist Visa on Arrival

The Tourist Visa on Arrival (VOA) for Antigua and Barbuda is a convenient entry option designed for travelers who are otherwise required to obtain a visa but hold valid documentation from specific, trusted jurisdictions. To be eligible for this visa, applicants must possess a valid visa or permanent resident card from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or a Schengen country, with that document having at least six months of remaining validity. This program allows eligible visitors to facilitate their travel plans by obtaining the necessary entry permission directly upon arrival at the port of entry in Antigua and Barbuda, provided they meet all other standard immigration requirements.

Upon arrival, travelers must present their qualifying visa or permanent resident card, along with a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond their date of arrival. The fee for this service is USD 100 per passenger. It is important to note that this visa is intended strictly for recreational tourism or casual visits to meet friends and relatives. It is generally non-extendable and non-convertible, meaning visitors must ensure their stay remains within the authorized period granted by the immigration officer at the border. Travelers should also be prepared to provide proof of sufficient funds for their maintenance and a confirmed return or onward ticket.
