For travellers from Thailand, entry to Antigua and Barbuda requires an e-Visa requested online before departure. The observed processing time is 7 business days, so it is better to submit a complete file early than to book a non-changeable flight before the answer arrives.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, an e-Visa is mandatory for holders of a Thai passport travelling to Antigua and Barbuda. It can only be requested online, before departure; a visa on arrival is not open to them. Check the conditions of stay, including the authorised length of stay, on the official information page (immigration.gov.ag).

Where do you apply for a visa for Antigua and Barbuda from Thailand?
An e-visa for Antigua and Barbuda is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

You live in Thailand on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Thailand 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.

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
Allow for the observed processing time of 7 business days, plus possible exchanges if a document is missing. Submit the application as soon as your dates are known and wait for approval before buying a non-refundable ticket. Keep the approved e-Visa on paper and on your phone: it may be requested at check-in and at 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 This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it.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
The costliest mistake is using an unofficial website that charges a surcharge to pass on the same application: the official portal is immigration.gov.ag. Typing errors in the name, date of birth or passport number are another cause of refusal. Nor should the processing time of 7 business days be confused with the authorised length of stay, which must be checked separately on the official page.
