The new CEO Philip Kisob has also been appointed for Select Anguilla.

Anguilla residents with permanent resident status through this scheme can apply to become British Overseas Citizen (BOC) after five years of living. British overseas citizenship is largely granted to people of former british colonies.
British Overseas citizens (BOC) are exempted from obtaining a visa or entry certificate when visiting the United Kingdom for less than six months. BOC are subject to immigration controls and do not have the right of abode or the right to work in the United Kingdom. Unlike full British citizens, British Overseas citizens are not European Union citizens and do not have freedom of movement in the EU but they are exempted from obtaining a visa when visiting the Schengen Area
Anguilla uses the international airport in St Maarten for daily access to the US, Canada and Europe. The airport can be reached 20 minutes by ferry. Anguilla uses two currencies ECD and USD.
