In 2019, Anguilla launched its golden visa scheme, which provides international investors with automatic permanent residency and a road to British overseas territory (BOT) citizenship.
Anguilla Residence by Investment (ARBI) was the official name of the scheme.
The RBI system in Anguilla reflects the government’s desire to provide ‘elevated’ status to tourists who make major financial investments in the island.
ARBI scheme promotes the growth of the island by-
- Encouraging investment in its local real estate sector, as part of the ARBI strategy to stimulate growth.
- Increasing the government’s capital development fund, which will enable crucial investment in important projects for the island’s benefit.
In June 2019, Anguilla launched its residency-by-investment scheme. Investors seeking a tax-advantaged residence can be interested in this program.
