Steps Involved
Step 1: Complete Your 5-Day Visit to Antigua and Barbuda
Step 2: Keep Records from Your Trip
Step 3: Complete Your Oath of Allegiance
Step 4: Prepare the Documents for Passport Renewal
Step 5: Submit Your Application Through PassPro
Step 1: Complete Your 5-Day Visit to Antigua and Barbuda
When should I complete the 5-day visit for Antigua and Barbuda passport renewal?
We strongly recommend planning your visit no later than four and a half years (four years and six months) from the date your citizenship was approved. Leaving it until the final months could put you at risk of missing the deadline due to unforeseen travel issues or passport expiration.
What happens if I miss the 5-day visit requirement?
If you have not completed your 5-day visit, you will not be eligible for renewal until the requirement is fulfilled. This could mean delays, potential travel restrictions, and even complications with banking or immigration authorities abroad.
Tip: Schedule your trip at least 6 months before passport expiry for peace of mind
Step 2: Keep Records from Your Trip
What documents do I need to prove my 5-day visit?
When you complete your visit, it is essential to save evidence of your physical presence. You will need the following documents when submitting your renewal file:
- Photo of your entry stamp from Immigration
- Flight confirmations or boarding passes (entry and exit)
- Your hotel or accommodation booking
- Proof of payment (credit card receipt, hotel invoice, etc.)
Tip: Create a digital folder labeled “Antigua Visit” and upload your documents as soon as your trip ends. Alternatively, send them to your PassPro consultant to store safely in your file.
Step 3: Complete your Oath of Allegiance
Where can I take the Oath of Allegiance?
- Arranged through your authorized agent (see name on approval letter)
- Any embassy or consulate of your country of residence
How much does it cost?
- Main Applicant: USD 1,600
- Adult Dependent: USD 400
Once completed, you will receive an Oath Certificate, which must be kept safe and submitted with your renewal documents. The Oath is only required once in a lifetime, not at every renewal.
Tip: Plan your travel route carefully. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months validity and check for any visa or ETA requirements in transit countries.
Travel and Transit for Oath of Allegiance
If you are required to travel to Antigua and Barbuda to complete your Oath of Allegiance, advanced planning is essential to avoid last-minute complications. Before booking, ensure your current passport has at least six months of validity, which is mandatory for transiting through countries such as the United Kingdom or the United States.
Check the visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) requirements for all countries you may transit through, even for short layovers. We recommend booking flights well in advance to secure preferred routes and avoid unexpected delays or visa processing issues. If your travel route includes a layover in the United States, verify your visa eligibility prior to your visit to Antigua and Barbuda.
