Where and how to apply
Since Antigua and Barbuda has no mission in Madagascar, Malagasy applicants approach the High Commission or embassy responsible for the region (for example London), or have the file lodged with the Immigration Department in St. John's, often with support from a local host or sponsor. Always confirm the exact channel and submission partner on the official source before sending your file.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Madagascar passport valid for at least six months, recent passport photos, a completed application form, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds, and a return ticket. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the current official rate with the mission or the Immigration Department before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed and can vary with the submission channel and region, so apply several weeks before departure. As Antigua and Barbuda may require a yellow-fever certificate depending on your itinerary, check your health requirements alongside the visa.
Common mistakes
The most common mistakes among Malagasy travellers are assuming a visa on arrival, presenting a passport close to expiry, or waiting until the last minute when the file has to pass through a distant mission. Confirm every requirement with the official source rather than relying on second-hand information.
