Visa-free destinations for Antigua & Barbuda

Aug 1, 2021

Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda can now travel to 165 countries across the world without the need to obtain a visa.

Benefits of the Antigua and Barbuda passport

Following new visa waiver agreements, the Antigua and Barbuda passport is now the strongest in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). Among the jurisdictions included are 124 sovereign states, 13 British Overseas Territories, 10 overseas Departments and Collectivities of France, 6 Dutch territories and 3 territories of other European countries.

“This development follows the government’s objective of garnering respect for the integrity of the Antigua and Barbuda passport, allowing all citizens to travel visa-free to as many countries as possible,” said Foreign Minister E.P. Chet Greene. “Our diplomats have been engaged in this exercise steadily over the last five years, and they will intensify these negotiations in the coming months.”

Other Caribbean countries with visa-free travel

Antigua and Barbuda’s biggest competitor in regards to travel flexibility is Grenada which offers not only visa-free travel to China and the UAE for ordinary passport holders (versus diplomatic passports only, if you’re an Antigua passport holder), but Grenadian passport holders are also eligible to apply for an E-2 non-immigrant visa to the United States which requires personal investment and full-time work in a business located in the U.S and offers residency for you and your immediate family, which is renewable every five years.

Do Antiguans need a visa to visit the UK?

The United Kingdom leads the way as a country that Antigua and Barbuda passport holders can now visit. Other recently added destinations include Russia, Kosovo, India, Bolivia, and the countries of the European Union.

How do you apply for Antigua and Barbuda citizenship?

Step One
To begin the process, we send you our questionnaire. We use that to complete your government forms for you. This saves time and a lot of back and forth since the government is quite precise about how the forms are to be completed. We send you your completed forms for review and signature.

Step Two
Once we have reviewed your questionnaire, we can confirm exactly what supporting documents we will need according to your personal situation. All applicants require certified copies of their IDs and proof of address and so on, however paperwork relating to source of income varies according to you how you have earned, or earn, your money. Financial diligence is probably the most important part of the government’s assessment.

Step Three
In the first instance we submit everything electronically to the government. Once they have performed their initial review, we ask you to courier the originals to us in Antigua. Then it’s a bit of a waiting game as the file goes through the citizenship unit, their third party diligence firm and back again. Citizens International uses the same diligence company and verifies all applicants prior to proceeding with any application.

How much does an application cost?

Depending on which investment pathway you choose and how many family members you include, you can expect to pay US$150,000 and up for an application once you include all the additional fees.

Who can I include in my application?

You can include a spouse, parents (55 years and over), grandparents, children (up to 30 years) and grandchildren and not only at the time of your application, but you can also add them after the fact.

How do I begin the process and get a quote for myself and my family?

If you’d like to speak to us, please either send us a webchat (click the icon bottom right of this page), email or book in for a video consultation easily in our partner calendar. We find video conferencing to be the most efficient use of your time to ascertain the best program for you and your family. We encourage you to take advantage of it since your first consultation is free of charge.

If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
