Documents required for an e-visa for Antigua and Barbuda:
The documents to upload are listed on the official portal, which is the reference. They usually include the passport photo page, a recent passport-style photo and travel documents, for example an accommodation booking or a return ticket. As there is no verified fee, no amount is given here: check the fees on the official portal or on the information page before paying.
Open the official immigration portal: immigration.gov.ag. Enter the requested information by copying the details of your passport faithfully, attach the scanned documents and make the payment following the portal’s instructions. Keep any reference or confirmation provided after submission, as it lets you follow the application until the decision.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Syria 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.

Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.
The observed processing time is 7 business days. Start the application as soon as your travel date is set, keeping a margin for a possible additional document. Wait for the decision before paying for non-refundable bookings, then keep the approved e-Visa in printed and digital form until you return.



Paying an unofficial intermediary that overcharges for a procedure available directly on immigration.gov.ag is a frequent mistake. Next come inconsistencies between the form and the passport, such as a misspelt name or a wrong number, which can lead to a refusal. A final trap is believing that a visa on arrival will sort things out on landing, whereas this option is not open to Syrian citizens.
