Anguilla offers a tax residency route for high value individuals who maintain property and a yearly tax payment on the island. This page sets out how Indian nationals can approach it and where to verify the rules.
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.
Anguilla does not restrict its residency routes by nationality, so Indian passport holders may apply on the same basis as other applicants. Applicants must pass due diligence and show a clean source of funds.
Because this is a tax residency and permanent residence route rather than a second citizenship, it does not conflict with India not allowing dual citizenship. Indian residents should still check how a foreign residence interacts with Indian tax residency and reporting rules before acting.
The High Value Resident route grants tax residency to people who own and maintain qualifying property in Anguilla and commit to an annual lump sum tax payment for a set minimum period.
A separate permanent residence by investment route is available through a contribution to the Capital Development Fund or a qualifying real estate purchase that is held for a minimum holding period. Confirm which route fits your goals with the official authority.
Published guidance indicates the application review runs to roughly three to four months once a complete file is submitted, though timing depends on due diligence and document readiness. Confirm the current timeline with the official authority.
