Investor Immigration
to the UK
This visa is for investors
who have at least £1 million of their
own money to invest in the United Kingdom and
who want to make the United Kingdom their home.
Holders of this visa can ultimately obtain permanent
residency status.
The United Kingdom welcomes
wealthy individuals. They must have a large
amount of money in their control to invest in
the United Kingdom. With the correct funds it
is relatively simple to get a visa to come to
the United Kingdom as an investor.
This visa has work restrictions
whereby people cannot take employment beyond
managing their investments.
These visas are normally granted
for an initial period of one year. The visa
can be extended in the United Kingdom one month
prior to the visa expiry date. After 4 years
continuous stay in the United Kingdom on this
visa you may apply for a settlement visa.
There are some basic requirements
of the visa you must satisfy if you are to be
considered for the investor visa to the United
Kingdom.
These are:
- You must have a large amount
of money in your control to invest in the
United Kingdom, of which at least 75% must
be invested in private companies or trusts
- You have enough money to
support and accommodate yourself without working
or help from public funds
- You intend to make the
United Kingdom your home, by spending at least
50% of your time in the United Kingdom
