Anguilla’s New Tax Residency Program Ideal For High-Value Digital Nomads, Program Chief Indicates
“We’re looking for someone who has a lifestyle in which they don’t usually spend more than 90 days in any particular jurisdiction,” says Philip Kisob.
A British Overseas Territory, Anguilla offers immediate permanent residency to those who donate to a government-administered fund or invest in local real estate above a certain minimum threshold.
After a five-year period of de facto residency, the applicant is eligible for British Overseas Territory Citizenship (BOTC) and, consequently, an Anguillian passport.

Requirements to qualify for citizenship
Approved applicants receive immediate permanent residency in Anguilla. After five years of lawful residency in Anguilla, applicants are eligible for British Overseas Citizenship.
This greatly reduces the pathway to citizenship time. Under this program the naturalisation process to become a British Oversees Territory Citizen (BOTC) requires that the applicant has been lawfully residing in Anguilla for 5 years prior to the date of application. Under normal residence procedures the time spent in Anguilla would need to be 10 years to qualify for BOTC citizenship.
BOTC’s may apply for full British citizenship provided they undergo a process of registration.
Legislation upon which this program is based:
Select Anguilla Agency Act 2019, item 3

“We’re looking for someone who has a lifestyle in which they don’t usually spend more than 90 days in any particular jurisdiction,” says Philip Kisob.
After 5 years of living legally on the island, persons holding permanent residence under this scheme can apply for the BOTC and UK/EU passports.
Anguilla’s planned residence programs – which the concessionaire expects to open in Q2 2019 – will include options for lump-sum tax, real estate acquisition, and donations to a government fund.
