Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Antigua and Barbuda. Immigration officers at VC Bird International Airport check this at the counter — if it expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Antigua and Barbuda | Immigration will ask for a return or onward ticket before they stamp you in. Budget airlines like interCaribbean and LIAT check this at check-in too — have your booking confirmation ready on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have your hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers occasionally ask for it if you look like you're staying with friends or family — a printed booking or email works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your expenses. Immigration rarely asks for it for short stays, but if you arrive without a return ticket or accommodation, they may request proof of at least $500 USD. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity before boarding. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you will be denied boarding — no exceptions.
No visa, but don't skip the basics
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration can still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Have these ready to avoid delays.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. Join the queue for non-citizens. Have your passport, return ticket (digital or printed), and accommodation details ready. The officer will stamp your passport with a 180-day entry. The process usually takes 5–15 minutes.
2
Prepare documents before queuing
While in line, pull up your return ticket and accommodation confirmation on your phone. If you have a printed copy, keep it in your hand. This speeds things up and avoids fumbling at the counter.
3
Answering immigration questions
The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying, and when you're leaving. Answer clearly and briefly. If you're staying with friends, have their address and phone number handy.
