You live in Chad 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.

How long does an e-visa for Antigua and Barbuda take?
7 business days
Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.
Processing time and tips
The observed processing time is 7 business days. An incomplete file can extend it, so check that every file is legible before sending. Preferably book changeable tickets until the decision is issued, and carry the approved e-Visa on paper and in digital form for check-in and immigration control.
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 This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it.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
Some unofficial websites imitate the look of a public service and charge extra fees: the application is filed on immigration.gov.ag. Another mistake is sending illegible documents or information that does not match the passport, which delays or jeopardises the decision. Finally, rely on the official information page rather than on forums or old travel reports, as conditions can change.
