Navigation

Add any navigation notes such approaches, dangers etc here. If this section does not apply remove it.

Entrance

I arrived at English Harbour on the 14th of April, and, upon finding not enough room to anchor, or tie up at the yellow buoys, dropped anchor in Falmouth Harbour. I went to English Harbour to clear in, only to be told that I would have to return to my boat as every member of the crew would have to fill out and sign the immigration form. It would be best to find a space in English Harbour to clear in, as it could be a bit of a walk and dinghy ride back to your boat if you don't have the correct forms or they are not filled out correctly.

Immigration, Visas and Customs

Immigration

Citizens from the U.K., U.S., Canada only require proof of citizenship (i.e. a valid passport, etc.).
An advance visa is not required for nationals of Commonwealth Countries, E.U. U.S, nor for nationals of Albania, Argentina, Armenia , Azerbaijan , Belarus, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Georgia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Norway, Peru, Romania, Russian Federation, South Korea, Suriname, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Venezuela.
Visa applications can be made to: Permanent Mission of Antigua and Barbuda, Email

Immigration will issue a visa on arrival for a maximum of 6 months (for nationals of those countries that do not require an advance visa). This visa can be extended by making timely application in St Johns (rather costly at US$100).

Crew Changes

Crew disembarking must have an onward air ticket and must be signed off through Immigration.
Crew arriving by air must produce (to airport immigration on arrival) a letter signed by the yacht's skipper/owner AND a certified copy of the ship's papers of the yacht he/she is joining for onward passage.

Customs

Firearms and ammunition MUST be declared on arrival.
Penalties for illegal drugs are extremely severe.
Do not unload ANYTHING from the boat before the Customs inspection.
PETS: - An Import Permit must be obtained from the Chief Veterinary Officer. Your pets must have been microchipped and blood-tested for rabies at an approved laboratory. The blood test results must be forwarded to the Chief Veterinary Officer, PO Box 1282, St Johns, Antigua, West Indies. Ph/Fax 268 460 1759, Email. You will then be issued with an Import Permit for the pet.
