Antigua and Barbuda streamlines immigration and disembarking process with new digital system (ArriveAntigua.com)
Antigua and Barbuda has officially eliminated paper disembarkation cards, embracing a more modern and convenient approach for visitors.
Travelers are expressing appreciation for the new electronic system that allows them to complete necessary forms digitally before landing.
One notable account comes from Antiguan diplomat Ambassador Dr. Dario Item, who recently traveled from London to the Caribbean nation on a British Airways flight. Traditionally, passengers would be handed paper forms to fill out prior to arrival.
However, as he prepared for landing at V.C. Bird International Airport, Dr. Item discovered that this was no longer necessary. The flight attendant informed him that all documentation could now be submitted electronically.
Expressing his satisfaction with the change, Dr. Item highlighted how effortless the new process was. Upon reaching the immigration center, he was greeted by a QR Code Reader.
With a quick scan on his phone, he was able to complete the immigration checks seamlessly. The forms are available at arriveantigua.com.
Finally…………I havent travelled recently so I havent had the taste of relief but Thank God for this. I dreaded having to even ask people on the plane for their pens. Imaging people just swinging pens on AA. Such a shame. Finally we all can go through this electronically
Well its finally good to see that this really happened. No more paper work. Yes!
Yayyyyy lol sometimes you get tempted to write the wrong thing to see what theynwoud say
I travelled back home just 3 weeks ago and still had to fill out the paper forms. Proud to be among the last to ever have to go through that archaic process!
Time for there to be no form, electronic or otherwise, for holders of Antigua and Barbuda passports. We paid for electronically readable passports. Scanning those should be all that’s needed for us.
I hope there is something in place for the senior citizens who don’t have a phone.
FI-NA-LLY That was a very long wait for something they been touting for over a year now
Why was no official communication released earlier?
