Experienced Investor Visa Lawyers in Mayfair – We Get Results

The United Kingdom immigration laws have always encouraged  High Net Worth Individuals who have substantial sums to invest to come to the country. This continues with the new investor immigration category. The immigration requirements seek to ensure that not only do an exclusive group of wealthy persons relocate to the United Kingdom but also that they make a substantial financial investment.

Please see our UK Investor Visa page for full details, a summary follows below:

The immigration requirements are:

·    That applicants have at least £1,000,000 (1 million pounds) in the United Kingdom, which is their own money and is in a regulated financial institution in this country, or
·    They own personal assets (which can be wider than simply money) which are in excess of £2,000,000 (2 million pounds) in value, provided they are not subject to any liabilities; and have that money under their control. The money has to be held in a regulated financial institution and disposable in the UK.
·    You can rely on a loan of at least £1,000,000 as long as that loan was made by an institution regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

·    Applicants also need to show English language ability and that they can maintain themselves.

Although these seem simple, these immigration applications are not only complex but are also made separately to any tax considerations. Among all London immigration solicitors or barristers, our experienced immigration lawyers are on hand not only to assist these immigration applications with speed, discretion and professionalism, but also with guidance on the tax implications for non-domiciled tax status.
