Antigua & Barbuda offers an electronic visa (e-Visa) system for eligible Indian travellers, depending on their profile and purpose of visit. It is issued for tourism, business, or short stays, and applications are generally submitted online through the official immigration portal or authorized system of the Government of Antigua & Barbuda.
Applicants are required to fill the online form and upload documents such as a valid passport (minimum 6 months validity), passport-size photograph, return flight ticket, hotel booking or accommodation proof, and financial proof like bank statements. In some cases, applicants may also need to provide a visa or residency proof of other countries (such as UK/USA/Schengen), if applicable, as it can support approval.
After submission, the application is reviewed by immigration authorities. If approved, the e-Visa or entry authorization is sent electronically and must be printed and carried during travel. On arrival, travellers may be required to show return ticket, accommodation details, and proof of sufficient funds.
Processing Time:
Usually around 3–7 working days, but applicants should apply at least 1–2 weeks before travel for smooth processing.
Even with approval, entry is not automatic, as final permission is always granted by immigration officers at the port of entry. Stay duration is granted based on visa approval and immigration decision, commonly for short-term visits.
Overall, Antigua & Barbuda entry process is online-based and relatively simple, but approval depends on financial stability, travel history, and immigration verification.
