What to Know Before You Go
Essential travel information for a smooth journey — from packing advice to local customs — so you can make the most of your destination and enjoy a stress-free vacation.
Passport Requirements
A passport is required for everyone to travel to the Caribbean. We strongly recommend that all members of your party travel with a passport with a validity date of at least six months past the date of your departure from the island. You may not be allowed entry into Antigua or Barbados if your passport is not valid for at least 6 months after the day you are scheduled to arrive.
Visa Requirements
All travelers must have a valid passport. If you are not a US, UK, or Canadian citizen, please check with your country’s consulate for Visa requirements. US, UK, and Canadian visitors do not need a Visa to travel to Antigua & Barbuda.
Entry Requirements
Guests heading to Antigua are required to complete the form at ArriveAntigua.com within 72 hours of travel. No app download is required — visitors simply scan their passport, answer a few questions, and receive a QR code to fast-track Immigration and Customs.
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend travel insurance. We have a select partner with whom you can arrange insurance for your trip. Click here for more information.
