Antigua and Barbuda is revolutionizing travel convenience with the launch of an innovative digital immigration platform at VC Bird International Airport. This cutting-edge system allows travelers to complete their immigration forms online up to 72 hours before departure. By securely scanning passports, the platform auto-fills personal details—eliminating paper forms and last-minute handwriting.
Upon arrival, travelers simply present a QR code on their mobile devices to immigration and customs officials, reducing processing times by half and significantly cutting wait times.
Looking ahead, plans are underway to extend this digital system to arrivals by sea and private jets, further enhancing the travel experience. The Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority’s U.S. team actively promotes this advancement, recognizing its value for U.S. travelers and the island’s tourism industry.
