Yes. For a Bhutanese passport, entry into Antigua and Barbuda requires a visa issued after an online application made before the trip.

You live in Bhutan on another passport?

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times and tips
With an observed processing time of 7 business days, it is best to lodge the application well before the flight date, especially as further documents may be requested. Avoid non-refundable bookings until the visa is granted. On approval, check the details on the visa, then keep a paper copy and a digital copy for the journey.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
The most common trap is an official-looking website that charges service fees: the portal to use sits on the immigration.gov.ag domain. Non-compliant photos, unreadable documents or a typo in the passport number also slow down many files. Last point: the passport presented at departure must be the one used for the application.
