What changed

No major structural change to the High Value Resident tax residency programme was confirmed for 2026. The programme continues to offer tax residency in exchange for a fixed annual tax commitment, a qualifying property holding and a minimum physical presence each year. We publish this page so the current position is clear rather than to report a change.

Because tax thresholds and fees can be revised at budget time, treat any older figures with care and confirm the current numbers with the official authority before relying on them.

Current rules

Under the High Value Resident route, the applicant commits to a fixed annual tax on worldwide income, reported at USD 75,000, and must be able to prepay this for five years at application, reported as USD 375,000. The applicant must hold property in Anguilla worth at least USD 400,000 and must spend at least 45 days a year in Anguilla.

Applicants must not be tax resident in any other single jurisdiction, which in practice means not spending more than 183 days a year elsewhere. Reported application charges include a processing fee of USD 3,000 for a family of up to four, plus USD 500 for each additional dependent, and due diligence fees of USD 7,500 for each main applicant and adult dependent, with a lower amount for dependents aged 12 to 18. Confirm all current figures with the official authority.

What to watch

Watch the fixed annual tax amount, the prepayment requirement and the property threshold, since these define the cost of the route and can move at budget time. The minimum stay and the rule against being tax resident elsewhere are central to keeping the status, so monitor any change to the day counts.

Confirm the current rules and fees with the official authority before acting.
