Anguilla Nomad Visa

Does Anguilla still have a digital nomad visa?

No, not as far as official sources show. Anguilla's remote work programme, branded "Lose the Crowd. Find Yourself." and also called Work from Anguilla, was a pandemic-era scheme run through the Anguilla Tourist Board. Its pages were last live in October 2022; the old address now sends visitors to the general tourism website.

In October 2026 the Government of Anguilla's immigration pages list visitor visas, extensions of stay, work permits and residence, but nothing for remote workers. We found no announcement that formally ended the scheme, but there is no official way to apply for it today. We treat it as closed.

What did the programme offer?

According to the Tourist Board's archived programme page, the scheme launched in August 2020 and let remote workers, students and families live on Anguilla for between 91 days and 12 months while working for employers or clients elsewhere.

• Fees: US$2,000 for an individual or a student; US$3,000 for a family of four (main applicant plus three dependants), plus US$250 for each additional family member.
• Processing: the page said approval could come about 14 days after a complete application.
• Documents: an application form, proof of employment or a business incorporation certificate, a visa where needed, and a police record no older than six months for every applicant aged 18 or over.
• Families: every person, including children, had to complete their own application.

The archived page did not publish an income threshold. Much of its content was about COVID-19 entry rules, testing and quarantine, which shows how closely the scheme was tied to the pandemic.

In January 2021, Anguilla's Executive Council minutes noted that the digital nomad scheme "must be clearly defined and codified". We found no later law or regulation that did this.

What can you do instead in Anguilla?

None of the remaining routes is a nomad visa. They are the ordinary immigration options on the Government of Anguilla website.

• Visit, then extend your stay. Visitors can apply to the Immigration Department to extend their stay using form 1-1, with a photo, passport and itinerary. The fee is EC$150, pro-rated for multi-month extensions, and you must leave when the extension ends. This is permission to stay as a visitor, not permission to work, so check with Immigration before relying on it while you work remotely.
• Work permit. Anguilla issues self-employed, employee, renewal and temporary work permits through the Labour Department. These are for jobs or businesses in Anguilla: vacancies must be advertised first, and you need a business licence, tax clearance and a police record covering the last ten years.
• Permanent residence. The government lists a permanent residence permit with a separate application. It is aimed at people settling long term, not at a short remote work stay.

Which nearby islands still have a remote work visa?

If you want a Caribbean base, compare the programmes that still have official application routes. Montserrat's Remote Work Stamp is the closest geographically and is set out in law. Dominica's Work in Nature visa allows up to 18 months. You can also look at Antigua and Barbuda and Barbados.

Every one of these programmes expects you to already earn from a foreign employer or clients. If you are still looking, start with remote jobs that hire from Nigeria.

Can Nigerians visit Anguilla?

Yes, but you need a visa first. Nigeria is on Anguilla's list of countries whose nationals need a visa, unless you already hold a valid UK, US or Canadian visa or residence permit, which lets you enter without a separate Anguilla visa.

The Government of Anguilla says visas can be requested online through the Anguilla eVisa portal, with processing of 8 to 10 business days, or at the nearest British embassy or high commission. It lists entry clearance visa fees of US$140 for a single entry and US$250 for multiple entries. The eVisa portal currently warns of processing delays, so apply early.

Anguilla runs on Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year, five hours behind Lagos, and uses the Eastern Caribbean dollar.
