About the Program

Since 2008, the UK government introduced its Tier 1 Investor Visa program. It was developed with the aim of powering the country's economy with foreign capital. Individual investors and their family members may obtain their residence permits and British citizenship by investment. Key concept of the program: investors buy government bonds or invest at least £2 million in the UK-registered companies. As a result, the UK residence permit for the entire family can be obtained within eight weeks.

Note that the applicant must hold at least £2 million personal funds in his/her bank account for at least three months prior to the application

Advantages

  • With a £2million investment, an applicant may apply for settlement after 5 years.
  • The waiting time may be reduced to 3 years if the investment is raised to £5million, and with a £10million investment, applicants are able to apply for settlement following 2 years of UK residency.
  • One year from the obtainment of Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK, an applicant may apply for British citizenship, under certain conditions.
  • UK Work Visa
  • Access to the Highest Standards of Academic Institutions
  • Family Members are included
