Having a residency permit in the United Kingdom, gives you a range of benefits and opportunities that few countries in the World can offer.
With its diverse society, formed from one of the largest cultural and ethnic mix in Europe, the UK remains one the most prosperous nation in the world, providing a superior life style, with a highly industrialized economy, and excellent standard of education and healthcare services for its citizens and residents. A minimum stay of 6 months in total - over a period of 1 year, is required to keep the residency visa status.
Tier 1 Investor Visa UK
The UK immigration rules are intended to attract investors, entrepreneurs and people of talent. Recent changes have seen the UK close immigration to highly skilled workers and some other immigration categories. Therefore, for wealthy individuals one of the best options in order to qualify for leave to remain in the United Kingdom is the Tier 1 Investor Visa.
The investor category is designed to allow wealthy individuals who make a substantial financial investment to the UK to obtain permission to enter as an investor under the Tier 1 category. The applicant must invest a minimum of GBP 2 million in the UK.
The Tier 1 Investor category has the shortest Investor Immigration application processing time amongst the G8 countries and has very objective entry criteria with a predictable outcome.
*The applicant must invest a minimum fund of £ 2 million in the UK
Innovator and Start-up Visa
The Innovator Visa is aimed at individuals from outside of the United Kingdom, who want to set up or run a business in the UK area. This specific visa applies if the business or the business idea has been endorsed by an approved body. Essentially, the business idea must be a new and viable idea/project, with potential for growth. The applicant cannot join or invest into a business that is already trading.
*Minimum investment funds needed: £ 50,000
The Innovator visa allows the residency permit to be extended to immediate family members and gives you the opportunity to apply for UK citizenship after five years.
Although it has similar criteria, the Start-up visa programme does not enable you to settle in the UK through citizenship. The applicant can, however, switch to another eligible visa programme if wish to pursue this route.
