Who gets in

The residence route.

Two routes that do different things. The High Value Resident program sells a fixed annual tax bill of US$75K in place of all other taxation, committed for 5 years, with US$400K of local property and 45 days a year on the island. Permanent residence by investment runs from a US$150K contribution or US$750K in real estate held 5 years. After 5 years actually living on the island, with no more than 450 days away, the Governor may grant British Overseas Territories citizenship, and a BOTC can then apply to register as a British citizen. Both steps are discretionary. Residence alone does not break your home country tax position. Anguilla sits on Annex I of the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, still there at the 09.10.2026 update, which in practice means heavier bank due diligence on European money.
