Nevis LLC
Formation, registered agent and annual compliance in one yearly plan
Nevis LLC concierge service. You hire MyLatinLife, and our Nevis formation partner forms and maintains your LLC. The deliverable is a Nevis limited liability company in good standing, kept compliant every year, not advice or a DIY packet.
A Nevis LLC is one of the strongest structures available for asset protection and privacy. Nevis does not recognize foreign court judgments, keeps no public register of beneficial owners, and levies no tax on income earned outside Nevis. That combination is why investors, business owners and people building a Plan B use it to hold assets and run international income.
The plan is one yearly subscription. Your first payment covers formation and the first year of registered agent and registered office, including government fees. Each renewal covers the registered agent and office, government fees, the annual tax return filing, and administration and compliance, so the LLC stays in good standing without you tracking deadlines.

Why Nevis
Foreign judgments do not carry over
Nevis does not recognize judgments from foreign courts. A creditor who wins a case in the United States or anywhere else has to hire Nevis counsel and start again from the beginning in the Nevis court system.
Creditors must post a bond before suing
Before bringing any legal action against a Nevis LLC, a creditor must post a bond with the Ministry of Finance, issued by a Nevis financial institution. That cost filters out speculative lawsuits before they start.
A higher burden of proof for fraudulent transfer claims
To prove a fraudulent transfer, a creditor must meet a “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard, the same standard used in criminal cases. Many other jurisdictions only require a “preponderance of the evidence”.
The charging order is the only remedy
A judgment creditor can only obtain a charging order against a member’s interest in a Nevis LLC. The creditor receives distributions if and when the LLC makes them, and nothing if it does not. The creditor cannot seize the LLC’s assets or take over its management.
Privacy by law
Nevis keeps no public register of beneficial owners and imposes stringent penalties on professionals who breach its privacy laws. It is a privacy-first jurisdiction that rivals the Cook Islands.
Tax neutral, with no economic substance regime
Nevis levies no individual or corporate income tax, wealth tax, transaction tax, payroll tax, inheritance tax or estate tax on income arising outside Nevis. Unlike the BVI, the Cayman Islands or the Bahamas, it does not impose economic substance requirements, so you do not need local offices or staff.
Nevis LLCs for US Citizens
For US persons, a Nevis LLC can be treated as a pass-through entity for US tax purposes. Income and foreign tax credits then flow onto your individual return instead of the LLC being classed as a Controlled Foreign Corporation, which would require Form 5471 and bring punitive tax treatment. Pass-through treatment is chosen through an IRS classification election, so confirm the setup with your US tax advisor before the LLC starts trading. Our US expat tax team can help.

Nevis LLC or Wyoming LLC?
They solve different problems. A Wyoming LLC is the better fit when you need a US company for US bank accounts, Stripe and US clients. A Nevis LLC is the better fit when your priority is asset protection and privacy, because it sits outside the US court system and has no public register of owners. If you are not sure which one you need, book a consultation call and we will look at your situation.

Who This Is For
- Business owners and investors who want to protect assets from future lawsuits and creditors
- Anyone who wants to hold property, investments or international income in a private structure
- People pairing a second residency or passport with an offshore structure as part of a Plan B
Asset protection works best when it is in place before any claim exists. A Nevis LLC is not a tool for hiding assets from an existing creditor.

Your LLC is formed and maintained through our partner Expat Money, led by Mikkel Thorup, which specializes in offshore structures for internationally minded clients. MyLatinLife coordinates your case from start to finish. MyLatinLife is not a law firm and does not give legal or tax advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the yearly plan cover?
Your first payment covers formation, the registered agent and registered office for the first year, and government fees. Each renewal covers the registered agent and office, government fees, the annual tax return filing, and administration and compliance.
Do I need to travel to Nevis?
No. The LLC is formed and maintained by our Nevis partner, and the process runs remotely.
Does Nevis tax my LLC?
Nevis levies no income, wealth, transaction, payroll, inheritance or estate tax on income arising outside Nevis. You may still owe tax where you are tax resident or a citizen, so check with your tax advisor.
Is there a public register of owners?
No. Nevis maintains no public register of beneficial owners and penalizes professionals who breach its privacy laws.
How is a Nevis LLC taxed for US citizens?
A Nevis LLC can be treated as a pass-through entity for US tax purposes, so income and foreign tax credits are reported on your individual return rather than the LLC being treated as a Controlled Foreign Corporation. This depends on an IRS classification election, so confirm it with your US tax advisor.
Does a Nevis LLC need a local office or staff?
No. Nevis does not impose economic substance requirements like those in the BVI, the Cayman Islands or the Bahamas.
