Anguilla offers tax residency through its High Value Resident route, which pairs an annual lump sum tax payment with a property holding. Here is how the cost stacks up, and where to confirm each figure.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The High Value Resident route is built around two commitments. The applicant pays an annual lump sum tax of USD 75,000 to the Inland Revenue Department and maintains that payment for a minimum of five consecutive years. Alongside the tax payment the applicant owns and keeps property in Anguilla valued above USD 400,000 for the duration.
The lump sum tax is not an investment you recover. It is a tax payment, so treat it as a recurring annual cost rather than a deposit. The property, by contrast, is an asset you continue to own, though its value can move with the market.
Expect a government processing fee of USD 3,000 for a family of up to four applicants, with a further USD 500 for each additional dependent. Due diligence fees apply per person: a commonly cited figure is USD 7,500 for each applicant aged 18 and over and USD 2,500 for each dependent aged 12 to 18. These figures change, so confirm the current schedule with the Inland Revenue Department before you budget.
On top of government charges you will usually pay for legal and advisory support, property conveyancing, document gathering and translation, and courier costs. These are not set by the government and vary widely by provider and by the complexity of your file. Ask for a written, itemised quote so you can compare like with like, and keep these separate from the official figures above.
A realistic budget combines the recurring annual tax, the one off government and due diligence charges, the property purchase, and professional fees. Because the tax payment repeats each year for at least five years, the multi year figure is far larger than the first year outlay. Model the full commitment, not just the entry cost.

Anguilla levies no income tax, corporate tax, capital gains tax, gift tax, net worth tax or inheritance tax. The High Value Resident route is built around the annual lump sum tax rather than a tax on your worldwide income. Confirm your personal position with a licensed tax adviser and the Inland Revenue Department.
The route asks you to establish genuine links to Anguilla and to declare each year that you spend less than 183 days in any other single country. Confirm the current residence conditions with the official authority before you rely on them.
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory, so long term residence can open a path toward British Overseas Territories citizenship and, over a longer period, British citizenship. Rules and timelines change, so verify the current position with the official authority.
