GOVERNMENT TO IMPLEMENT IMMIGRATION AMNESTY

Cabinet has approved the introduction of an immigration amnesty for eligible non-nationals in Antigua and Barbuda. Cabinet says the amnesty will help to address current labour shortages across critical sectors of the economy, while providing an opportunity for individuals who have fallen out of immigration status to regularise their stay.

The amnesty will will allow the beneficiaries to bring their status into good standing without penalty.

Further details regarding eligibility criteria, application procedures, date of implementation and duration of the amnesty will be presented to the Cabinet at its next sitting.
