Discover visa requirements for your trip
Somali citizens must obtain a visa before travelling to Antigua and Barbuda. Neither visa-free entry nor a guaranteed visa on arrival is available to them in this Caribbean state.
The Somali passport is among the most restricted travel documents in the world, and Antigua and Barbuda is no exception: travellers departing Mogadishu must request a visa through consular channels. With no Antiguan mission in Somalia, the application is arranged remotely, through the Antigua and Barbuda Immigration Department or a competent high commission, and undergoes heightened review.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Somali passport holder needs a visa to enter Antigua and Barbuda, including for a short tourist stay. The passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond the intended entry and carry free pages. Since the Somali passport is closely scrutinised, be sure to confirm current conditions with the Antiguan authorities before making any booking.
How and where to apply
With no Antiguan embassy in Somalia, Somali applicants generally deal with the Antigua and Barbuda Immigration Department or the competent high commission, often from London. Write first to confirm the form, the required documents and the exact submission channel, as routing mail and payments can be difficult. Use only an official channel.
Documents and fees
Gather a valid passport, the form, recent photos, proof of accommodation or an invitation letter, a flight reservation and solid evidence of funds. As you are travelling from a yellow-fever risk area, be ready for a possible vaccination certificate on entry. Because the visa amount is not published consistently, we refer you to the official source rather than quote an inaccurate figure.
Processing and tips
Processing times can be long when a file needs deeper checks, so apply as early as possible. A complete, consistent and well-supported file (purpose, itinerary, funds, ties) reduces requests for more documents. Keep copies and proof of dispatch for all correspondence with the Antiguan authorities.
Common mistakes
The most serious mistake is relying on a visa on arrival: the visa must be secured in advance. Also watch for insufficient passport validity, a missing yellow-fever certificate and weak proof of funds. Never use an unofficial intermediary demanding fees without verifying the procedure directly.
