Requirements for an Anjouan Gambling License

To obtain a gambling license in Anjouan, operators must meet the following criteria:

  • Form a local company

  • Submit essential personal and business documents (such as ID and proof of address)

  • Comply with basic Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and responsible gaming standards

  • Provide a certificate of good standing

The licensing process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.


How to Start a Gambling Company in Anjouan

Launching a gambling business in Anjouan is relatively simple and affordable. However, it involves several key steps.


Key Requirements for Company Incorporation

To incorporate a company in Anjouan, you’ll need:

  • A proposed company name

  • Shareholder and director details

  • A registered office address

  • Memorandum and Articles of Association

  • Compliance documentation

  • Applicable application and incorporation fees


Limitations of Incorporating in Anjouan

Despite its low cost and quick setup, there are some important limitations to consider:

  • Limited Recognition: Anjouan-issued documents are not apostille-certified, which makes it difficult to open bank accounts internationally.

  • Payment Processing Challenges: Many banks and payment processors do not support Anjouan-registered companies, leading to operational issues.


Better Alternatives: Belize and Costa Rica

If banking access and credibility are critical to your business, consider these alternatives:

  • Belize: A reputable offshore jurisdiction with access to global banks and payment providers. Company registration takes 1–2 days.

  • Costa Rica: Known for its gambling-friendly environment, clear regulatory framework, and fast registration process (3–5 days).


Choosing the Right Jurisdiction

While Anjouan offers a fast and budget-friendly path to licensing, Belize and Costa Rica may be better suited for businesses that prioritize global banking access and long-term credibility.
