The United Kingdom is a country off the northern coast of mainland Europe made up of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. It operates with the modern-day parliamentary democracy and the industrial revolution. The country today is one of the largest economies in Europe and a leading global trading center.
The UK has long been a significant world power. London is the world’s financial capital, offering an international business environment. The UK is well-known for having some of the best educational institutions and an open, global culture.
Following a referendum in January 2020, the UK is no longer a part of the European Union. It is still a part of several major global institutions such as the Commonwealth, NATO, G7, G20, United Nations, and WTO, to name a few. The country welcomes immigrants through British Citizenship Investment programs.

The UK opened an immigration route for foreign investors in 1994. The immigration authorities launched a point-based system that included Tier 1 Investor and Tier 1 Entrepreneur visas. However, last year the UK government officially made a decision to close the Tier 1 Investor visa route for new applications from all nationalities due to security concerns. However, extensions are still available on already-issued visas.
Tier 1 investor visa allowed entry and stay in the UK if a non-EEA individual invested funds in share or loan capital in active and trading UK-registered companies. A new visa type was introduced for genuine investors who wanted to set up their own business in the UK: The innovator visa. You need a minimum investment of £50K to qualify for UK Residency by Investment. Applicants must demonstrate an innovative, scalable and viable idea for the business launch, supported by an endorsing body. The investment funds should be from legitimate sources. However, investing in UK government bonds is also an option. The authorities want the investors to show genuine job creation and other tangible economic impacts.
The initial validity period for this visa is 3 years and can be extended for 3 more years. Under immigration rules, migrants can avail of permanent residency status, Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) for 3 years, and obtain British citizenship through investment after 6 years.
