Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
eVisa application
Apply before travel
Apply for an Antigua and Barbuda eVisa at the Immigration Department portal. Processing takes a few business days — do not book non-refundable flights until you receive approval. The eVisa is single-entry and covers tourism or business visits.Apply for eVisaRequired
Valid passport
Must cover entire stay
Your Jordanian passport must be valid for at least the duration of your stay in Antigua and Barbuda. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure
Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A printed booking confirmation or e-ticket works. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight.Required
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or invitation letter
Have a hotel reservation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying — a printed booking confirmation or a host's address and phone number is sufficient.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself
Carry bank statements or a credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, they want to see you are not planning to work illegally.Recommended
No visa on arrival
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Antigua and Barbuda. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be refused entry.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Antigua, not from when you leave. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying for the eVisa.

What happens at the border
