You wanna buy an Anguilla passport, huh? Well, let me tell you, it ain’t as easy as pie. You can’t just waltz in and buy one like you’re buyin’ a loaf of bread. It’s a whole rigmarole, I tell ya. They got rules, and you gotta follow ’em.
How to get an Anguilla passport
First off, you gotta become a resident. That’s right, you gotta live there for a spell. They don’t just hand out passports to any old body who shows up on their doorstep. You gotta prove you’re gonna stick around, be a good neighbor, ya know? And there are a couple of ways you can do that.
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I heard tell there’s this thing called “investment.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? Basically, you gotta put some money into the place. Not just a few pennies, mind you. We’re talkin’ big bucks. Like buyin’ a house or somethin’. And you gotta keep that money there for a good long while, least five years, I reckon. They make sure you don’t use it for some other stuff.

- You gotta live in Anguilla if you wanna be a resident.
- You gotta put money in, big money.
- You gotta wait, and wait some more. Like five years of waitin’.
- Gotta have a driver’s license if you wanna drive.
And while you are doing that money thing you need a driver’s license, right? Yeah, you gotta get a temporary one. You gotta pay for it. It’s like, 20 dollars or something, I think. Or maybe it’s 53 dollars. I don’t rightly remember. But you gotta get one if you wanna drive around those fancy cars. They let you drive for up to six months, I believe.
Don’t think you can just show up with your driver’s license from wherever you came from. Nope. They want you to have theirs. Gotta learn their roads, I suppose. Or they think we don’t know how to drive? But if you have a US green card or some visa from Britain or America, maybe you don’t need to get one. I don’t know, you gotta check.
Caribbean passport is good
And then, after you’ve lived there for five years, and you’ve been a good little resident, then maybe, just maybe, you can get that Anguilla passport. But it ain’t guaranteed, ya hear? You gotta apply for it, fill out all them papers, and hope they say yes. It’s like applyin’ for a job, but way more serious. If you are born there, or married to someone from there, then it is easy, I think. Or maybe your parents are from there.
A Caribbean passport is a good thing to have. I heard it lets you go to a lot of places without all them visa troubles. Like, you can just hop on a plane and go. Sounds nice, don’t it? And if you get into trouble somewhere far away, you can go to one of them embassies, and they’ll help you out. ‘Cause you’re one of them now, see? A citizen, or something like that.
Now, there’s two kinds of passports. A book and a card. The book is bigger and it cost more. You need the book if you are flying in an airplane. The card is good for when you are on a boat. It’s cheaper. I think. I never had either one.
What about other ways to get an Anguilla passport?
Now you might be thinkin’, ain’t there an easier way? Well, I heard some folks get it faster. Like, way faster. A few months, maybe. They call it a “citizenship program”. These folks, they just give a whole heap of money to the country. It’s like a donation, but a really, really big one. And in return, they get a passport. It’s like they’re buyin’ their way in. I don’t know if that’s right or not, but that’s what I heard.
If you ask me, that ain’t fair. But who am I to say? I’m just tellin’ you what I know.
So, if you’re serious about this Anguilla passport thing, you better be prepared to jump through some hoops. It ain’t easy, and it ain’t cheap. But if you got the money and the patience, maybe, just maybe, you’ll get it. Just remember what I told ya, and don’t go gettin’ yourself into trouble. They got rules, and you gotta follow ’em. Good luck to ya, you’ll need it. It is a long and hard road.
And don’t forget, you gotta be nice to the folks there. They’re good people, mostly. Just tryin’ to live their lives, same as you. Don’t go thinkin’ you’re better than them just ’cause you got a fancy passport. We’re all just folks, tryin’ to make our way in this world. And a passport is good to have. But it does not make you better than anyone.
What else do you need to know?
Oh, and one more thing. When you’re fillin’ out them papers for the passport, you gotta read ’em real careful. They got all sorts of rules and instructions. Don’t just scribble your name and think you’re done. You gotta read every word, understand what they’re askin’ for. If you make a mistake, they might just throw your application in the trash. And then you gotta start all over again.

And don’t even think about lyin’ on them forms. They’ll find out, you know. They got ways of checkin’ things. And if they catch you in a lie, well, you can kiss that passport goodbye. They don’t take kindly to liars. So be honest, even if it hurts. It’s better to be truthful and get rejected than to lie and get caught.
So there you have it. That’s all I know about gettin’ an Anguilla passport. It’s a long and windin’ road, but if you’re determined, you might just make it. Just remember to be patient, be honest, and be prepared to spend some money. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll be sittin’ on a beach in Anguilla, sippin’ a cool drink, and flashin’ that shiny new passport. Wouldn’t that be somethin’?
