Anguilla’s Department of Immigration has introduced a new online portal, e-Visa Anguilla, to facilitate the application process for visitors who need a visa to travel to Anguilla. Anguilla’s e-Visa portal offers visitors detailed information on the island’s visa requirements and guides prospective applicants through an easy, 3-step process. Travelers who log on to e-Visa Anguilla can complete and submit the application form, check the status of the application, and receive the electronic visa authorization that must be presented on arrival. Citizens of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many European and Caribbean countries may enter Anguilla and stay for up to three months without a visa. Also, travelers who have a valid visa to enter the UK, US or Canada may use this visa to enter Anguilla. Travelers can determine whether they require a visa by visiting the portal here.
“This is a significant and welcome development for our island, which will also have a positive impact on the growth strategy for our tourism industry,” said the Hon. Parliamentary Secretary Tourism, Mrs. Quincia Gumbs Marie. “As we expand beyond our traditional source markets of North America and Europe, and as we target extended-stay visitors, it is important to make it as easy and convenient as possible for our guests to come to our island.” Visitors may apply for single entry or multiple entry visas. A single-entry visa, which costs US$140, is processed within 3-5 business days and allows the holder to stay for up to 90 consecutive days. It must be used within 30 days of the issue date. A multiple entry visa costs US$250, is valid for one year, and allows for multiple stays of up to 90 consecutive days. It is also processed within 3-5 business days and must be used within 30 days of the issue date. Both single entry and multiple entry visa may be used for both business and leisure purposes.

About Anguilla
Tucked away in the northern Caribbean, Anguilla is a shy beauty with a warm smile. A slender length of coral and limestone fringed with green, the island is ringed with 33 beaches, considered by savvy travelers and top travel magazines, to be the most beautiful in the world. A fantastic culinary scene, a wide variety of quality accommodations at varying price points, a host of attractions, and an exciting calendar of festivals make Anguilla an alluring and entrancing destination.
Anguilla lies just off the beaten path, so it has retained a charming character and appeal. Yet because it can be conveniently reached from two major gateways: Puerto Rico and St. Martin, and by private air, it’s a hop and a skip away. Romance? Barefoot elegance? Unfussy chic? And untrammeled bliss? Anguilla is Beyond Extraordinary.
