Home / Passport Renewal / Antigua and Barbuda
The published ordinary renewal fee on the Antigua and Barbuda High Commission (London) schedule is GBP 50 per adult and GBP 25 per child (about USD 65 and 33), and the CIU Schedule of Fees separately lists a passport fee of USD 300 (EC$810) per person; domestic fees are paid in EC$ revenue stamps, with no numeric schedule published. Processing takes 3 to 6 weeks and the application is remote. The distinguishing fact: CBI citizens must have spent 5 days in Antigua and Barbuda within the first five years, and compliance is verified at the first passport renewal. CBI citizens receive 5 year passports for both the initial issue and renewal.

Government fees, verified
Every figure below is quoted in the currency the government actually sets it in, with an approximate US Dollar equivalent, and carries the official source it was verified against. Overseas missions charge their own consular schedules in local currency, which are separate schedules rather than conversions of the domestic fee.

Documents and process
The renewal application is submitted remotely through an Antigua and Barbuda diplomatic mission abroad or a licensed CIP agent; there is no requirement to travel to Antigua for the renewal itself. The 5 days of physical presence are a separate, one time obligation completed within the first five years of citizenship and evidenced at the first renewal, so any required visit can be scheduled calmly and documented early with entry and exit stamps. An expired passport can still be renewed: it is surrendered with the application and compliance demonstrated; a lost or stolen passport additionally requires a police report and an affidavit of loss, which extends processing.
Biometrics and deadlines
Biometric enrolment is not yet mandatory for Antigua and Barbuda renewals; it is planned under the ECCIRA framework. The standing requirement is the 5 day rule: CBI citizens spend a total of 5 days in the country within the first five years, with compliance checked when the initial 5 year passport is renewed. Under ECCIRA this presence requirement is set to rise to 30 days within five years, but the framework's implementation is postponed to mid 2026 and the current 5 day rule still applies. The Eastern Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Regulatory Authority (ECCIRA) framework, established in December 2025, would introduce mandatory biometrics, a 30 day physical presence requirement within the first five years and an initial 5 year passport upgraded to 10 years after orientation across its five member states. Its implementation has been postponed from April 2026 to mid 2026, and existing renewal rules remain in force until it takes effect.

An existing condition of the programme, not a new measure: CBI citizens must spend a total of five days in Antigua and Barbuda within the first five years, with compliance checked when the initial 5-year passport is renewed.
Why requirements change. Governments periodically revise passport validity, biometric standards and presence requirements as programmes are modernised and regional frameworks such as ECCIRA take shape. We record each verified change in the regulatory change observatory. Recorded for information only from official sources as at the last-checked date. This is not legal advice.

Families
Each family member applies individually with their own Form AB10 and documents, paying the per person fee on the schedule of the chosen channel (GBP 50 per adult and GBP 25 per child at the London High Commission). All CBI passports run on 5 year cycles, so a family that applied together renews together, which makes batch coordination straightforward.
