**How we know**

Every figure here is as ab.gov.ag publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so.

## What to know before you apply

The Nomad Digital Residence programme is CLOSED. A government notice dated 10 November 2025 states the programme came to an end on 15 November 2025, and the official site nomad.gov.ag now carries "This program has ended" on every page. Existing holders are directed to the Department of Immigration; no successor remote-work route is announced, and no alternative long-stay route was verified. For the record, the terms the site still publishes for the closed programme were: a 2-year visa from the date of approval, explicitly not renewable and issuable only once; applicants 18+, employed outside the country and able to work remotely, minimum income USD 50,000, clean record; fees USD 1,500 single, USD 2,000 couple, USD 3,000 family, USD 650 per additional dependant; processing 5-7 business days; no local income tax. Those figures are historical as of 18 August 2026 and must not be read as an available programme.

## What it means for your tax days

A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Antigua and Barbuda's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way.

A visa and tax residency are different things: the visa lets you stay, the tax rules follow the days you actually spend. Check Antigua and Barbuda's tax authority for the day test that applies to you.

**How does Stretch help with the Antigua and Barbuda stay?**

Log the day you land and Stretch counts the days against the permission you are on, shows the date you must be out, and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days. It also tallies the days that count towards tax residency, so the 183-day question answers itself. The counting and the alerts are free, forever.
