Tier 1 Investor visa is an attractive option for the ones who wish to come and live in the UK and possibly to qualify for British citizenship once UK residence requirements are completed.
Basic Requirements
The applicant under Tier 1 Investor visa is not required to speak English, not required to start a business, but is required to invest substantial assets into UK government bonds, share capital or loan capital in active and trading UK registered companies.
The minimum required investment is from £2 Million, which enables to apply to settle after 5 years of continuous residence in the UK. If the investment is greater, the right to settle permanently in the UK may be achieved more quickly. For instance, the investment of £10 Million makes the investor eligible to complete residence requirements in two years to be able to settle in the UK. The investment of £5 Million commands the eligibility requirement in 3 years of continuous residence.
Advantages of the Investor Visa Route
Tier 1 Investor visa route is an attractive immigration to the UK solution for the wealthy because it is relatively clear and simple provided the mandatory requirements are met.
Common Issues
There are many players in the investor visa market. A number of financial institutions are actively recruiting investor visa prospects. However, the underlying issue is that not all solutions currently offered on the market lead to smooth settlement in the UK.
Common issues are inadequate asset class allocation by the financial institutions and deliberate circumvention of the mandatory legal requirements.
