Work from Anguilla (no longer available): health insurance requirements
No insurance mandate for this visa
Anguilla's Work from Anguilla remote-work permit has disappeared. No closure was announced, but the tourist board's pages for it return 404, the subdomain it was hosted on no longer resolves, and it is absent from the Immigration Department's service list and the government document library. Remote workers now enter visa-free for up to 90 days instead, and nothing in that process asks about insurance.
The requirements at a glance
| Local-licensed insurer required | No: compliant international IPMI is accepted |
|---|---|
| Accepted proof | Nothing is checked. Visa-free entry requires a passport valid six months beyond arrival, a return or onward ticket, and evidence of accommodation and means of support. |
Visa-free entry for US, British, Canadian and Australian passport holders runs up to 90 days at the officer's discretion. Working for employers or clients outside Anguilla during a visit is the everyday reality; taking work from Anguillan entities requires a work permit through the Labour Department, with the vacancy advertised locally first. Anguilla levies no income, capital gains or estate tax.
Anguilla's remote-work permit is the clearest case of a pandemic-era programme dying without a notice: no closure statement exists, yet the programme subdomain has dropped out of DNS entirely and no current government index mentions it.
Our take
The old permit had the best insurance clause in the Caribbean: it named air ambulance explicitly, so a thin travel policy could not satisfy it. That rule is gone, and with it the only thing that was forcing visitors to buy cover appropriate to the island.
Nothing about the risk changed. Princess Alexandra Hospital is the only public hospital, it is small, and cases beyond its capability fly to St. Maarten, Puerto Rico or Miami. Clinics here commonly want cash and will not bill a foreign insurer, so you pay first and claim later. Buy the policy the closed programme would have demanded.
What happens if you get it wrong
Planning around the permit. Guides still quote its income threshold and fees, but there is no government page left to apply on and no announcement explaining why.
Treating a 90-day stamp as a base to extend from. It is a visitor stamp with no remote-work route to convert into, so a longer stay means leaving and returning.

FAQ
There is no reachable way to do so. Every official page for it returns 404, the subdomain it ran on no longer resolves, and it appears in no current government service list or document index. No closure was ever announced, so no end date exists.
On ordinary visa-free entry of up to 90 days, set by the officer on arrival. You need a passport valid six months beyond arrival, a return or onward ticket, and to show accommodation and means of support.
Nothing requires it now that the permit is gone. The island has one small public hospital, serious cases are evacuated by air to St. Maarten, Puerto Rico or Miami, and clinics generally expect payment up front rather than billing your insurer.
No. Anguilla imposes no income, capital gains or estate tax on individuals regardless of residency.
What policy actually satisfies this visa
This route does not make insurance a condition of the application, so nobody will ask you for a certificate. That is worth separating from the question of whether you should carry cover, because the immigration rule and the hospital bill are decided by different people.
The countries that impose no insurance rule are not, as a group, the countries where being uninsured is cheap. Several of them expect payment before treatment and fly serious cases abroad. The absence of a rule is not the absence of a risk, and the calculator above puts a figure on the difference.
The visa tells you the minimum. It does not tell you what to actually carry. Those are different questions, and the paperwork minimum is nearly always the smaller of the two answers.
