Multiple-entry visas

According to the immigration policy of Antigua and Barbuda, foreigners (except nationals of OECS countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Dominica, Montserrat, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia) who have been granted permanent status) must apply for an appropriate visa at the embassy if they plan to work or do business in the country.

In these cases, they will need to apply for an Antigua and Barbuda residence permit, work visa or business visa, respectively.

A Work Visa to Antigua and Barbuda is a permit to stay in the country for the duration of the contract.

This visa is issued to persons traveling to the country for the purpose of earning an income. In order to be issued it, you should prepare the following documents:

International passport (must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of departure from Antigua and Barbuda);
Questionnaire (filled in);
Color passport photo (45 mm x 35 mm);
Copy and original of work permit documents;
A letter from the employer about an invitation to work;
Certificate of criminal record;
Temporary residence permit (you will receive it automatically after employment);
Information about the applicant's vacancy, income, and available savings.

Peculiarities of foreigners' employment

The government cares more about unemployed local residents, so priority is given to them first. If a local resident is not suitable for the position, the employer must prove that it is necessary to hire someone from abroad and make sure that a local person has been offered the job. Therefore, only highly qualified jobs are offered to foreigners, which require special training courses or diplomas.
