Antigua and Barbuda e-Visa for citizens of Guatemala: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes, an e-Visa is mandatory. This authorisation, granted following an online application, must be obtained before departure for Antigua and Barbuda. A visa on arrival is not available to Guatemalan passport holders, which is why it pays to apply early. Detailed conditions are set out in the official FAQ: immigration.gov.ag.

• Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

The required documents and the fee amount are not listed here: only the official portal and the immigration department’s FAQ are authoritative, and these details can change. Scan your documents in good quality, in a format accepted by the portal, and check them before sending. If an unofficial website quotes a different price, rely on the amount shown on immigration.gov.ag.

The whole procedure runs through the official page immigration.gov.ag. In practice, you complete the form with the exact passport details, upload the supporting documents requested and pay the fees as instructed on screen. After submitting, stay reachable at the contact details given in the form, as the immigration department may ask for additional information before deciding.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Guatemala but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

The observed processing time is 7 business days. Allow extra time to gather the documents and answer any request for additional information, and submit the file well before your flight date. Once the e-Visa is issued, check that its details match your passport, then keep a paper copy and a digital copy for the journey.

Paying an intermediary website that presents itself as official is the most frequent mistake: such sites overcharge for a procedure that the immigration.gov.ag portal lets you complete directly. Another pitfall is waiting until the last few days before the flight to apply. Finally, passport details that do not match those entered in the form can lead to a delay or a refusal, so check everything before sending.
