Travel insurance for Antigua and Barbuda
Short-trip cover for visits to Antigua and Barbuda: emergency medical, trip-cancellation, luggage, the usual travel-insurance stack. Designed for weeks-not-years stays.
Antigua and Barbuda runs a two-year Nomad Digital Residence (NDR) visa: English-speaking, no local income tax on foreign earnings, and one of the longer nomad permits in the Caribbean. The catch is island-scale healthcare. There is a single public hospital on Antigua and an eight-bed facility on Barbuda, so serious cases are flown off-island, which makes medical evacuation cover the part of any policy that actually matters. Insurance for the full stay is a condition of the visa.
