Antigua and Barbuda visa for United States citizens

Antiguan and Barbudan citizens planning travel to the United States should note that a visa is required, with a comprehensive selection of seven visa types available to accommodate purposes from tourism and business to work or study. The application fee for many non-immigrant visas, such as the popular B1/B2 tourist option, is typically $185, granting eligible visitors the potential for stays up to six months. Despite the need for advance visa preparation, direct flights from VC Bird International Airport (ANU) to major US cities like Miami and New York make the journey efficient, and adjusting to the Eastern Time Zone is often seamless for travelers from the Eastern Caribbean.
