Travelers will now be required to use a modernized electronic entry system when traveling to Antigua and Barbuda, with the launch of ArriveAntigua.
The Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation, and Investment created the program in collaboration with the Antigua Department of Immigration and the Antigua and Barbuda Customs and Excise Division.
Travelers heading to the Caribbean nation and arriving at V.C. Bird International Airport will be required to go to ArriveAntigua.com within 72 hours of their flight, where they can complete an online form using their mobile device. They’ll be required to upload a photo of their passport and complete a questionnaire.
Once completed, travelers will receive a QR code which can be accessed through email, added to an iPhone Wallet or saved via screenshot. The QR code is then presented at customs upon arrival and exit, saving time.
ArriveAntigua is only available for commercial air travelers at present, but will be expanded to include seaport arrivals and private jet travelers.
“We are committed to continuously improving the visitor experience in Antigua and Barbuda,” said the nation’s Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Transportation, the Honorable Charles Fernandez. “The launch of ArriveAntigua.com is a major step in creating a smooth and seamless experience from the moment visitors arrive, allowing travellers to spend less time in the terminal and more time enjoying our 365 stunning beaches.”
