Antigua & Barbuda: passport and entry requirements
Antigua and Barbuda is visa-free for a holiday of up to 90 days. Your passport needs at least six months on it beyond your arrival date, and you'll need proof you're flying home again when you land.

Your passport
You count the six months from the day you arrive, not the day you fly home. Everyone travels on their own passport, right down to the youngest, and children's passports last five years against an adult's ten, so check each when you book and renew anything close, since a new one takes weeks.
Getting in
You don't need a visa to visit Antigua and Barbuda for a holiday. You'll need to show a return or onward ticket at the border, so book your flight home before you travel and keep the confirmation to hand. There's an online arrival form at ArriveAntigua.com you can complete within 72 hours of travelling, though it isn't compulsory.
A yellow fever certificate is only needed if you're arriving from a country where yellow fever is a risk, which doesn't apply to a trip straight from the UK.
Every child needs their own passport, whatever their age.
