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

The fund route is a contribution under section 2, with its deposit held in the Capital Development Fund until permanent-residence registration is completed. Select Anguilla states that the RBI programme has no physical-presence requirement. Section 12 provides continuing revocation grounds including fraud and later conviction; its property-resale conditions relate to real-estate investment, not a fund contribution.

Section 1 covers a spouse, a child under 18, a child under 26 in full-time attendance at a recognised tertiary institution, an adult child who is physically or mentally challenged and living with and fully supported by the applicant, and a child of the applicant’s spouse. Section 11(5) provides permanent-residence documentation for the applicant and dependants. The official source does not state separate employment rights.

    (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.

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. For the fund option, the deposit is held in the Capital Development Fund until permanent-residence registration is completed. This grant is permanent-residence status; the cited provisions do not themselves confer citizenship. The official source does not state the card-renewal procedure.
