Note that Antigua now upgraded all passports to biometric passports.
Here are the situations in which the visit requirement may not be met: if the applicant has reached the age of 80 years at the time of receipt of the passport or 5 years after; illness or disability; renewal of a passport received from June 30 to July 20, 2023.
