Antigua and Barbuda Digital Nomad Visa: Wayviator Guide

Antigua and Barbuda are Caribbean islands that together with some smaller islands collectively form one nation aptly named "Antigua and Barbuda". There are hundreds of sandy beaches in a relatively small area (440 km²/170 sq mi), and most of the action is on Antigua, where 97% of residents live. English is the official language of the islands, which are former British territories.

The Antigua and Barbuda "Nomad Digital Residence" visa is a long-stay visa designed for people who can work remotely. This long-stay visa has some advantages in its length of time: two years on the first approval is longer than many competing digital nomad visas in the Caribbean.
