What does this mean for Registered Agents?

This initiative is designed to increase filing capacity during a period of high regulatory demand, whilst maintaining the integrity of the system. From 1 December to 31 December 2025, overseas offices will be able to submit Beneficial Ownership (BO), Register of Members (ROM), Register of Limited Partners (ROLP), and Register of General Partners (ROGP) filings directly through VIRRGIN Lite.

Who is eligible?

Each Registered Agent or affiliated entity can nominate up to 10 approved users for access. For security purposes, access will be limited to 3 static IP addresses per organisation.

It's important to note that whilst overseas offices will have direct access, the BVI offices of Registered Agents remain fully responsible for user management, training, and ensuring compliance.

How to apply

The application process is straightforward:

1. Submit a VIRRGIN Lite subscription application
2. Provide user details, static IP addresses, and confirmation of local oversight via email to BO@bvifsc.vg
3. Ensure all required information is complete to avoid processing delays

As an added benefit, the FSC has waived application fees for external access during this temporary period.

Important considerations

The FSC will actively monitor usage throughout the access period and reserves the right to revoke access if necessary. This underscores the importance of maintaining proper oversight and compliance standards.
