These may include mandatory temperature checks, travel history checks and a check on whether your accommodation is on the approved list. You may also be required to take a further test for coronavirus. If this is the case, you will need to pay a fee of $100 to local authorities in cash. If you have recently recovered from COVID-19 in the past year, you will still need to demonstrate proof of vaccination to enter. Children aged between 5 and 17 who are not fully vaccinated must present a negative RT PCR test result or an approved Rapid Antigen test result, taken no more than 4 days (96 hours) before travel to Antigua. Children under 5 are exempt from vaccination status and testing requirements. Approved antigen tests can be found here. |
