Antigua and Barbuda Lifts Travel-Testing Requirement

The Caribbean twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda has updated its travel advisory and lifted the travel testing requirement for fully vaccinated visitors to the destination. Fully vaccinated travelers arriving to the nation are not required to produce a PCR/rapid antigen test negative result to be permitted entry into Antigua and Barbuda, unless they show symptoms of possible infection. This includes transiting passengers.

Fully vaccinated passengers showing symptoms of possible infection may be required to take an RT PCR test for COVID-19 upon arrival at their own expense. Instructions on permissible activities while awaiting results will be provided by Port Health officials.

Unvaccinated minors between the ages of five and 18 are required to present a negative RT PCR test of four days or fewer from date of testing. Children below five years entering Antigua and Barbuda, do not require a COVID-19 RT-PCR test.

Note: Partially/unvaccinated British citizens en route to, and partially/unvaccinated residents of, Montserrat are permitted to land in Antigua and Barbuda and transit via airplane from V.C. Bird International Airport to Montserrat. Such passengers will not be permitted to leave the airport prior to departure.

Wearing face masks in public spaces is actively encouraged throughout Antigua and Barbuda and social/physical distancing protocols should still be followed. Therefore, all passengers arriving in Antigua and Barbuda are encouraged to wear face masks wherever there are gatherings of significant numbers of people, for instance, ports, supermarkets, bars and clubs.

Antigua and Barbuda is fully open, and visitors can expect to enjoy a range of excursions, attractions and culinary experiences, to include newly opened restaurants and tours. Beaches are open and all curfew restrictions have been removed.
