Continuation by a BVI company to a foreign jurisdiction

The BVI Business Companies Act 2004 (the Act) allows a BVI company to continue its existence as a body corporate incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the BVI (a foreign jurisdiction) in the manner provided for by the laws of the foreign jurisdiction. This process is sometimes referred to as a corporate migration, redomiciliation or transfer of place of incorporation. This briefing examines the continuation of a BVI company to a foreign jurisdiction under the Act.
