| Income requirement | The High Value Resident programme requires an annual US$75,000 lump-sum tax payment for a five-year statutory commitment; this is a programme tax payment, not a minimum earned-income threshold.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Savings requirement | No separate fixed savings minimum is stated; applicants must fund the annual lump-sum tax, qualifying property and programme costs and meet source-of-funds/due-diligence requirements.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Investment requirement | The standalone programme requires ownership and maintenance of approved Anguilla real estate worth at least US$400,000.

Agent, legal and property costs are separate.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Processing time | Select Anguilla markets an approximately three-month process; this is an estimate rather than a guaranteed deadline and due diligence or property review can extend timing.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Validity | The tax-residence programme has a five-year statutory commitment. Inland Revenue issues a Tax Residence Certificate for each relevant tax year after approval and satisfaction of the programme conditions.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Family inclusion | Eligible dependants include a spouse, children under 18, supported full-time higher-education children aged 18 to under 26, and qualifying fully supported children with disabilities; family size affects due-diligence and processing fees.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Spouse work rights | Tax-residence status or a Tax Residence Certificate does not itself authorize a spouse to work locally; a separate work permit or an expressly qualifying combined RBI/business status is required.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
|---|
| Local-work rules | The RTP is a tax-residence programme, not a general local work permit. Local employment or self-employment requires separate authorization unless another status or combined economic-residence permit expressly covers the activity.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |

| Permanent-residence pathway | The standalone RTP grants tax-residence certification, not permanent immigration residence. Applicants seeking Anguilla PPR must separately qualify under Residence by Investment or the ordinary PPR route; the Act permits a combined RBI and RTP application.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
|---|
| Citizenship pathway | The RTP does not confer Anguillian status, British citizenship or UK residence; it is a tax-residence programme and any nationality/status route is separate.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
