Work from Anguilla Certificate

The Work from Anguilla Certificate allows remote workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and online students to reside in this British Overseas Territory for up to 12 months. Launched in August 2020 under the "Lose The Crowd. Find Yourself." tourism initiative, the programme is administered by the Anguilla Tourist Board. Anguilla does not levy personal income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, or corporate tax, making it an attractive destination for remote workers. For stays of 90 days or fewer, remote workers can use a standard tourist visa without needing this certificate.

The certificate is valid from 91 days to 12 months from the date of issuance. It cannot be extended or renewed — a fresh application with full documentation and fees is required for stays beyond the initial period.

Spouses and children or step-children under age 26 may be included. The family fee of USD 3,000 covers the primary applicant plus up to 3 dependants (4 persons total). Each additional dependant beyond 4 costs USD 250. All dependants must submit individual applications with supporting documentation.

Anguilla does not levy personal income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, estate tax, or corporate tax. Certificate holders are not subject to any local income tax during their stay and are not required to contribute to Anguilla's Social Security system. Customs duties may apply to imported personal effects.

Apply online through the I Visit Anguilla portal (ivisitanguilla.com) or the Government eVisa portal (evisa.gov.ai).
