Anguilla: a quiet base in the Leewards
A small British Overseas Territory with a low-tax system, long beaches and an unhurried pace. We plan the residence, the move and the structure around it.
Overview
Why people look at Anguilla
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean, a short hop from St Martin. The Government of Anguilla describes it as a low-tax jurisdiction, and it has built residence routes aimed at people who want to make the island their home or their second base.
We plan the residence around your intended stay, your family and your investment goals. We assess the right route, coordinate the application with immigration professionals in Anguilla and fold the move into your departure plan.
Living in Anguilla does not mean everything has to sit in Anguilla. Your companies, trusts and accounts can be placed in other jurisdictions, each chosen for the role it plays in the overall plan.
