Guide last updated September 19, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the full duration of the intended stay (some airlines require 6 months validity)
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or address of stay)
  • Evidence of sufficient funds to cover the stay
  • Completed immigration/customs arrival card, usually provided on the flight or at the airport
  • No visa or biometrics required for stays within the visa-free period
  • Travel health/medical insurance recommended

Visa types

  • No visa required for tourism or short business visits of up to 30 days
  • Longer stays or work require a separate application through the Antigua and Barbuda Immigration Department before or after arrival

Entry conditions

  • Maximum stay of 30 days per visit for visa-exempt travellers
  • Employment is not permitted on the visa-free entry; business visits are limited to meetings and negotiations
  • Immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel and funds at the port of entry
  • Extensions beyond 30 days can be requested at the Immigration Department office in St. John's before the initial period expires

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee since entry is visa-free
  • Extension fee (if applied for locally) is typically in the range of USD 25-50 depending on the length requested
  • No VFS/BLS service involved for the visa-free route
  • No advance processing time required; entry is granted at the port on arrival, subject to standard immigration checks (a few minutes)

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Carry a printed hotel booking and return ticket, as immigration officers commonly check these on arrival
  • Keep the arrival stamp/entry date, since overstaying even briefly can cause fines or future entry problems
  • If planning to stay longer than 30 days, visit the Immigration Department in St. John's well before the visa-free period expires
  • There is no Antigua and Barbuda embassy in Hong Kong; use the nearest Caribbean or Commonwealth diplomatic mission for urgent enquiries
  • Business travellers should carry an invitation letter from the host company to avoid questioning at immigration
