New Online Form will Speed Entry to Antigua and Barbuda
by Bruce Parkinson
A new online form means visitors to Antigua can get to the beach more quickly.
Antigua and Barbuda have announced the official launch of ArriveAntigua, a new Arrival and Departure System designed for travellers using V.C. Bird International Airport.
“We are committed to continuously improving the visitor experience in Antigua and Barbuda. The launch of ArriveAntigua.com is a major step in creating a smooth and seamless experience from the moment visitors arrive, allowing travellers to spend less time in the terminal and more time enjoying our 365 stunning beaches,” said Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Transportation, The Honourable Charles Fernandez.
The electronic system promises to significantly enhance convenience and efficiency for visitors, reducing the time between gate and beach.
Key Features include:
- Simple, Dynamic Interface: No app download required. Travellers can quickly complete the online form using their mobile or tablet devices. It is not available on desktop.
- Automatic Passport Scanning: By simply taking a photo of their passport, visitors allow the system to automatically populate personal details, simplifying the process.
- Quick Questionnaire: Within 72 hours of their scheduled flight, travellers answer a few brief questions about their stay and customs declarations.
- Effortless Arrival and Departure: Upon completion, travellers receive a QR code, which can be saved via screenshot, added to an iPhone Wallet, or accessed through email confirmation. This QR code expedites processing at Immigration and Customs, ensuring a swift entry and exit experience.
Travellers to Antigua and Barbuda are encouraged to complete the online form to enjoy arrival and departure with ease. The new process will soon expand to include seaport arrivals and private jet passengers at Fixed Base Operators (FBO) across Antigua and Barbuda.
