Belonger Status

The concept of “belonger” status was introduced into the Anguilla constitution when it was amended in 1990, and is also found in the constitutions of other British Overseas Territories. I must point out right away that belongership is not the same thing as citizenship. While it confers certain privileges, particularly the right to reside in Anguilla without restriction, it does not reach the level of full citizenship. Citizenship, whether attained by birth or subsequently by naturalization or registration, is governed by the British Nationality Act of 1981 and the Anguilla constitution.
