1, British investment immigrants
The "British local tyrant visa" for the families of high-asset people can obtain the right of permanent residence as soon as five years later.
British visas are divided into T 1 to T5. T 1 is a type of visa for the British government to attract high-net-worth individuals to invest in the UK. They can work for a long time and enjoy free public education and medical care. Tire 1, a British investment immigrant visa, is a residence visa. Applicants can choose to invest 2 million pounds and apply for permanent residence after five years. Or permanent residence of 5 million pounds within three years; Or 6.5438+million pounds for two years of permanent residence.
British investment immigration is an immigration project with low threshold, simple application, fast cycle and loose approval. Because of its status as a big country and good elite education environment, it is favored by many big bourgeoisie.
2. British entrepreneur visa
Compared with investment immigrants, the investment and entrepreneurship visa of 50,000 pounds is obviously much lower than the investment threshold, but the difficulty in applying is that the business plan needs to be guaranteed by a guarantee institution authorized by the government, and this guarantee institution will conduct spot checks every 6, 12 and 24 months after the applicant obtains the visa.
The visa holder must keep close contact with the guarantee institution, which will track and check the qualifications of the parties and have the right to cancel the guarantee, thus making it impossible for the applicant to change to permanent residence. In addition, the success rate of such visa applications is extremely low, and most applicants do not meet the conditions for starting a business.
3. UK Chief Representative Visa
Low-risk and low-cost immigration to the UK will be approved within 5 working days at the earliest.
The visa for the chief representative of the United Kingdom belongs to the entrepreneur immigration project, which belongs to the visa required by those who are headquartered outside the United Kingdom and want to develop the British market and send executives with management experience to set up branches or wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. The visa held by senior executives during their business trip to the UK is the chief representative visa.
The first application is valid for 3 years, renewed for 2 years, and you can apply for permanent residence after 5 years. The applicant's spouse and children under the age of 18 can also get visas, and they can enjoy free medical care and education during the visa holding period. This visa category has no investment amount, number of employees and interview requirements, and the official average success rate is over 80%, which is a green channel for immigration to the UK.
Compared with the first two, the threshold of visa application for the chief representative of the United Kingdom is low and does not require a large investment. It can be said that it is a way to immigrate to Britain with zero investment. The English proficiency of the applicant is low, and the age and education of the applicant are not limited. If one person applies, spouses and children under 18 can get visas at the same time, and they can enjoy free education and medical care during the visa period.
Judging from the three ways of British immigration, the difficulty of investment immigration lies in the explanation of the source of large funds;
The difficulty of starting a business visa lies in the inaccurate positioning of the business plan for starting a business, and it is even more difficult to find a guarantee institution. The initiative is not in your own hands during the visa period. The most difficult thing is that the refusal rate is too high and the conditions for permanent residence are complicated;
The difficulty of the chief representative visa in Britain is that although the application requirements are simple and the cost is very low, the suitability of the applicant and the feasibility of the preparation materials need to be judged and approved by experienced professional lawyers.
2. Benefits of immigrating to the UK
I. Children's education
Especially successful people who have the ability to emigrate, pay more attention to the education of their children. British high-quality educational resources, immigrants to Britain can enjoy top-level education, which can play a very good role in paving the way for children's future development. If children are given the opportunity to study in the world's top universities such as Oxford and Cambridge as British citizens, why not?
Britain has a large number of top universities in the world and is also a popular country for studying abroad. Among the top ten universities in the world, Britain has four seats. Oxford University, Cambridge University, London Imperial College London, London University of Economics and Political Science, University College London and many other British institutions of higher learning attract students from all over the world with their good educational environment, strong faculty and open teaching mode. High-quality basic education and higher education system are also one of the main reasons why many new immigrants from China choose to move to Britain.
Second, welfare protection.
Britain is a truly high-welfare country, and its welfare system can be called a classic textbook of the West: widowed and lonely, everyone has something to support, and Confucius' thoughts were truly displayed here thousands of years ago. Britain respects citizens' labor. If you pay labor and taxes and make positive contributions to this society, the government will guarantee you a free and comfortable old age.
Britain is also one of the few countries in the world to implement a comprehensive free medical system. Its national medical service is a global public medical service, and "universal medical care" is also a symbol of a country's comprehensive soft power. As long as you pay hundreds of euros of medical insurance every year, everyone can enjoy a lot of medical benefits a year. In addition, new immigrants can enjoy various social benefits, such as children's and pregnant women's benefits, disability, illness benefits, retirement benefits and so on.
Third, the business environment
Britain is the fifth largest economy in the world and one of the most attractive countries for investment in the world. Its perfect financial and tax laws and regulations system and unified and open market mechanism are one of the preferred destinations for investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world to explore the European market.
In recent years, British corporate tax and personal income tax have been gradually lowered. The corporate tax has been reduced to 20%, and the basic personal income tax rate is 20%, which is 45%. The lower tax rate is also an important reason why China investors and entrepreneurs take a fancy to Britain.
3. Proof of the source of assets of British investment immigrants
Investment immigration is an immigration project that the rich are very keen on, but because of the large amount of investment, it is often necessary to prove the source of funds.

For example, if you bought a house for 5 million yuan and sold it for 6,543,800 yuan three years later, this real estate contract can be used as an asset source to explain 5 million yuan.
At the same time, it may be necessary to provide relevant certificates to explain the 5 million yuan when buying a house for the first time;
2. The funds come from stocks or other wealth management income.

B. proof and statement of the source of assets when opening an account

3. The funds come from wills or other gift certificates.
A. Will (male name)
B. Divorce agreement or court decision

4. The funds come from operating income.
(a) the company's annual report for the last three years, which proves that the distributed profits or undistributed profits have reached a certain scale;

Britain's current overall environment, unshakable international status and highly competitive pound all make Britain particularly attractive to China investors, and the number of international high-net-worth people who want to invest in Britain is also expanding. In the face of the increasing popularity of tier- 1 investment immigrants in Britain, people with investment interests and ideas in China should make preparations as soon as possible to ensure that they can get more benefits with low investment in time.
