The UAE lists Antigua and Barbuda as visa required. A passport from St John's therefore needs a GDRFA tourist visa before the flight, filed through a Dubai tourism company. We prepare it and check it. The fees and the embassy position are below.
What it costs
| Visa | GDRFA fee |
|---|---|
| 30 days, one entry | AED 210 |
| 30 days, many entries | AED 315 |
| 60 days, one entry | AED 315 |
GDRFA tourist visa pages, read on . On the market side, about AED 340 to AED 800 is what Dubai agencies publish for the 30-day single entry visa (published prices of 8 Dubai agencies, checked ).
Papers
- Antigua and Barbuda passport, valid for six months or more
- Photo page scan and one passport photo
- A ticket out of the UAE
- UAE health insurance
- If family hosts you: their Emirates ID, residence visa and salary proof
More in the requirements guide.
Your own embassy
A notice from the Antigua and Barbuda embassy in the UAE, dated , puts the embassy in Abu Dhabi and asks citizens in the area to register with it. It offers safety guidance, welfare checks for registered nationals and regional updates. We read the notice in a magazine copy, so confirm on the embassy's own channels. A trade and tourism office in Dubai has also been reported.
Family sponsors
A relative living in the UAE can sponsor a visit through ICP if their salary meets the tier for your relationship.
Why files are refused
A passport near expiry, a blurred scan, no ticket out and a sponsor below the income tier are the usual causes.
How it works with us
Message us on WhatsApp or use the form here with a copy of your passport and your dates. An adviser checks which visa fits and sends one total price. We submit only after you agree, then follow up and send the e-visa. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service, and GDRFA or ICP decides.
The authorities keep their fees when they refuse a visa. Before you pay, the adviser puts in writing the part of our total that comes back, if any.
