Nevis legislation allows companies and LLCs formed in other jurisdictions to redomicile (also known as continuation) into Nevis. This process enables an entity to change its jurisdiction of incorporation without interrupting its legal existence.

Why redomicile to Nevis?

• Legal certainty: continuation is permitted under the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance and the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance.
• Asset protection: entities benefit from Nevis’ bond requirement for creditors and non-recognition of foreign judgments.
• Operational efficiency: modern registry and digital processes ensure a smooth transition.
• Reputation: relocating to a jurisdiction with over 35 years of standing as an international financial center enhances credibility.

The process generally involves:

1. Board/shareholder resolution authorizing continuation.
2. Filing of constitutional documents and a certificate of good standing from the foreign jurisdiction.
3. Registration with the Nevis Financial Services Registry through a licensed registered agent.
4. Issuance of a Certificate of Continuance, confirming the entity is now recognized under Nevis law.

Redomiciliation offers companies the opportunity to align themselves with a stable, protective, and internationally recognized jurisdiction without interrupting operations or losing continuity of contracts.
