What investment option or options qualify?

The Residence by Investment programme has two investment options: a contribution to the Capital Development Fund or investment in approved real estate.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The captured Act leaves the fund contribution and current approved-real-estate amount to prescribed material; this answer does not supply a numeric threshold.

What official minimum amount, tier or threshold applies to each relevant option?

For the standard residential real-estate option, Select Anguilla publishes US$750,000 for a family of four, plus US$100,000 per additional dependant. The programme separately charges due diligence, processing and a real-estate permit fee; these are not part of the property investment. This is the currently published standard option, not a statement of the thresholds for historic or retroactive applications.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The current statutory terms for historic/retroactive real-estate applications remain separately unestablished.
  • Programme authority: current investment and separate fees

How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The Governor may revoke investment permanent residence if real estate is resold within five years of completing the purchase; for the historic section 3(3) category, the five years run from the grant of permanent residence. Select Anguilla states that the RBI programme has no physical-presence requirement. Fraud, later conviction and the other section 12 grounds can also lead to revocation.

  • Economic Residence Act, section 12
    ## Revocation of Permanent Residence status **12.** The Governor may revoke a grant of permanent residence status under this Act, on the grounds that— (a) such registration as a permanent residence was obtained by false representation, fraud or wilful concealment or non-disclosure of material facts; (b) the Applicant or a Dependant has been convicted of an offence after the date of Application; (c) the Real Estate was resold within 5 years from the date of completion of the sale and purchase; (d) the Applicant referred to in section 3(3), has sold his property within 5 years of being granted permanent residence status; or (e) the Applicant or a Dependant has committed any other act after the date of Application, which, in the opinion of the Governor, has brought or has the potential to bring disrepute to Anguilla. *(Act 35/2020, s. 7)*
  • Programme authority: no physical presence requirement
    #### Low Maintenance Solution With no physical presence requirement you can utilise the status as much or as little as you choose.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

The Act provides for a Permit of Permanent Residence or Permanent Residence Card to be issued to the Applicant and Dependants as evidence of permanent residence in Anguilla. The official provisions do not state separate employment rights. The official source does not state which family members qualify as dependants.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Separate employment rights are not stated in the captured provisions.
  • Anguilla Economic Residence Act, s.11(5)
    a Permit of Permanent Residence or Permanent Residence Card will be issued by Immigration to the Applicant and Dependants to evidence permanent residence status in Anguilla.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

Final approval under section 11(5) results in a Permit of Permanent Residence or Permanent Residence Card evidencing permanent residence in Anguilla. Resale within five years can trigger revocation under section 12, with the start date differing for historic section 3(3) applications. This grant is permanent-residence status; the cited provisions do not themselves confer citizenship. The official source does not state the card-renewal procedure.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The cited primary provisions do not establish card-renewal procedure or a complete subsequent nationality route.
  • Economic Residence Act, section 11(5)
    (5) Upon fulfilment of the requirements in subsection (2), the conditional approval will become a final approval and a Permit of Permanent Residence or Permanent Residence Card will be issued by Immigration to the Applicant and Dependants to evidence permanent residence status in Anguilla.
  • Economic Residence Act, section 12
    ## Revocation of Permanent Residence status **12.** The Governor may revoke a grant of permanent residence status under this Act, on the grounds that— (a) such registration as a permanent residence was obtained by false representation, fraud or wilful concealment or non-disclosure of material facts; (b) the Applicant or a Dependant has been convicted of an offence after the date of Application; (c) the Real Estate was resold within 5 years from the date of completion of the sale and purchase; (d) the Applicant referred to in section 3(3), has sold his property within 5 years of being granted permanent residence status; or (e) the Applicant or a Dependant has committed any other act after the date of Application, which, in the opinion of the Governor, has brought or has the potential to bring disrepute to Anguilla. *(Act 35/2020, s. 7)*
