Saudi Arabia Visa Eligibility for Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda

Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda enjoy a privileged status when it comes to visiting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As part of the Kingdom’s "Group A" eligibility list, Antigua and Barbuda nationals are entitled to utilize the streamlined electronic visa (e-visa) system. This means that whether you are traveling for a luxury vacation, a cultural exploration of Jeddah’s historical districts, or a spiritual journey, the process is entirely digital. At applysaudievisa.com, we simplify this transition, ensuring that your eligibility is confirmed and your documentation is processed with professional precision.

Current Eligibility Status: E-Visa Enabled

The Antigua and Barbuda passport is currently fully eligible for the Saudi E-Tourist Visa. This digital permit replaces the need for traditional paper applications and physical embassy visits, providing a faster and more reliable way to secure your entry.

• Eligibility Category: Direct E-Visa Access.

• Permitted Purposes: General tourism, visiting relatives, attending conferences/events, and performing the Umrah pilgrimage.

• Ease of Entry: Valid for entry through all major Saudi international gateways (air, land, and sea).

Validity Period and Stay Allowances

The eligibility granted to citizens of Antigua and Barbuda offers significant flexibility for both short-term visits and repeat travel:

• Duration of Validity: Once approved, the e-visa is valid for one full year (365 days).

• Multiple Entries: You can enter and exit the Kingdom multiple times during the visa's validity.

• Maximum Stay: Each individual stay is permitted for up to 90 days.

• Religious Travel: Antigua and Barbuda nationals can use this e-visa to perform Umrah throughout the year, with the exception of the Hajj season.

Professional Processing and Service Fees

To ensure your application meets the high standards of the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to avoid any technical delays at the border, we offer two levels of professional service:

• Standard Eligibility Service: The total fee is 175 dollars. This all-inclusive price covers the official government visa fee, the mandatory health insurance, and our expert manual verification. Processing typically takes 3 to 5 business days.

• Express Eligibility Service: For travelers with urgent requirements, we provide an expedited path for 225 dollars, ensuring your visa is processed within 24 business hours.

Specialized Entry Permits (Non-Tourist)

While the e-visa is the most popular choice for citizens of Antigua and Barbuda, other journeys may require different permits. If you are traveling for long-term employment (e-work visa) or permanent residency, you must follow the consular application process, which usually involves a Saudi sponsor and a medical check-up. These specialized categories are not covered under the standard e-visa eligibility. For detailed information on work permits or business-specific visas, please contact our support team.

1. Passport: Your Antigua and Barbuda passport must have at least six months of validity remaining from the date of your arrival in Saudi Arabia.

2. Digital Profile: A recent high-resolution biometric photo and a valid email address are required.
