The Antigua & Barbuda Government plans to launch a three-month immigration amnesty, starting April 2, for undocumented migrants who have been living in the country for at least four years,
The government says the measure forms part of proposed amendments to immigration legislation that are expected to be debated in Parliament later this month.
It says the amnesty programme would run for a limited period while the authorities process applications from eligible migrants. These migrants will have to provide a police record covering the previous two years from their country of origin and from the relevant authorities in Antigua & Barbuda as well.
Under the proposal, the Chief Immigration Officer would be responsible for reviewing and approving applications submitted during the amnesty period.
Parliament is expected to consider the Immigration Amendment Bill on April 23.
