Se visa spouse/marriage visa

Applicable object: people with British nationality or permanent spouse, marriage orientation.

If your partner is a British citizen, or holds permanent residency in the UK, or is taking refuge in the UK, or is protected by human rights in the UK, you can consider applying for a British marriage visa. On July 9, 20 12, the British immigration policy changed greatly, and the British comprehensively raised the standards for foreign spouses to immigrate to the UK.

The basic requirements are as follows:

? The applicant is a non-EU national;

? Applicants should be 18 years old;

Residencey 10 year permanent residence mixed permanent residence

Application: continuous legal residence in the UK 10 years.

According to the current immigration law in the UK, the popular interpretation is permanent residence 10 years-any applicant who has lived in the UK continuously and legally 10 years can apply for the British Green Card (ILR). According to the data of immigrants from all over China who went to study in the UK, there will be many student applicants who studied in China 18 on 20/2065438, which may meet the application conditions.

Many 10 people who apply for permanent residence are worried that this method of applying for permanent residence will be cancelled by the British government in the near future, but our judgment from legal sources is that it is unlikely that the British government will completely cancel this clause. First of all, the permanent residence of 10 is an important clause in the EU human rights law, so the application for permanent residence based on 10 is still valid unless Britain completely withdraws from the EU.

Concept:/kloc-What is 0/0 year permanent residence?

First of all, we must clarify "what is 10 year permanent residence"? In fact, the correct expression of "10 year permanent residence" on weekdays should be "applying for permanent residence on the basis of long-term residence in the UK". So how long will it take to stay in the UK for a long time? Yes, it is 10 year.

The long residencypolicy guide clearly states that from the day someone enters the UK, if he has lived in the UK continuously and legally for more than 65,438+00 years, he has the right to apply for permanent residence in the UK.

It should be noted here that the period of 10 years must be calculated from the day when the person enters the UK, not the day when the person gets a visa. Since the validity of a visa is generally earlier than the date when someone actually enters the UK, I need to declare it here. Strictly speaking, applicants can actually submit their applications 28 days in advance, that is to say, they have the right to apply for permanent residence if they have legally resided in the UK for 9 years 1 1 month and 2 days.

Provide overseas business visas for overseas independent investment representatives.

Applicability: Large companies in China set up branches in Britain and sent senior managers.

Do not own a large number of shares, and have at least 3 years of senior management experience in the parent company.

With the increasing exposure of visas for chief representatives of overseas companies, such visas are generally regarded as the most economical way to immigrate to Britain by people with high assets and high quality. Compared with the familiar investment immigrants and entrepreneur immigrants, the former two have higher thresholds and greater capital investment.

The overseas chief representative can be said to be a zero-cost immigration route. However, this kind of visa has higher requirements for the applicant's company operation and the applicant's own qualifications.

Requirements for applicants

1) Applicants must come from outside the EEA, and they can only submit their applications outside the EEA (many applicants in the UK want to change to this type of visa for immigration purposes, but most people in the UK do not meet the following conditions).

2) Non-major shareholders cannot be major shareholders of the company (the Immigration Bureau stipulates that they cannot hold 50% of the company's shares, but according to actual experience, it is generally not recommended to hold more than 20%).

3) A company directly employed by a company outside the UK is directly employed by a company outside the UK, that is, a third party who acts as a sales agent or signs an agency contract with the company is not qualified.

4) He is already a senior employee and has at least two years of senior management experience in the company.

5) Familiar with the company's business.

6) English language a 1 English language has reached the basic level of communication.

7) The official maintenance fund has enough funds to survive in the UK (the main applicant's personal bank account has at least 3,365,438+00 for 90 consecutive days).

Requirements for the applicant's employment company

8) Trading and headquarters centered outside the UK should be located and maintained outside the UK to maintain trading (newly established companies and companies wishing to move their headquarters overseas do not meet the requirements).

9) There are no other branches or subsidiaries in Britain, and there are no other representative offices or subsidiaries in Britain.

10) There were no other representatives in the UK before, and there were no other chief representatives in the UK.

Quasi-entrepreneur preparing entrepreneur visa

One of the most economical ways to immigrate to Britain.

Applicants are required to have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and be recognized by British venture capital.

The quasi-entrepreneur visa is a preparatory entrepreneur visa in Chinese. As the name implies, it is set up by the Immigration Bureau for start-ups who have mature business plans and want to obtain third-party business investment (at least 50,000 pounds) in the UK.

With this visa, you can stay in Britain for six months. Applicants must make it clear that the purpose of their coming to the UK is to confirm venture capital, establish and operate enterprises.

Advantages of preparing immigrant visas for entrepreneurs

This visa has the following important advantages in addition to no English score requirements:

1. Applicants can re-sign Tier 1 entrepreneur visa in the UK, as long as they have 50,000 pounds invested by a specific institution.

2. There is generally no interview in China, and the interview probability is very small when transferring visas in the UK, which is generally impossible.

3. Simply put, preparing an entrepreneur is a way to provide a 6-month buffer time and the opportunity to obtain venture capital for mature applicants who have their own business plans but can't provide 200,000 pounds in a short time, so as to obtain a Tier 1 entrepreneur immigrant visa and a British green card.

There are three steps to the road to the British green card:

1. Preparatory entrepreneur visa stage;

2. Officially transferred to Tier 1 entrepreneur visa stage;

3. Renewal and application for permanent residence.

EU family visa

Scope of application: EU family members

Including husband and wife, spouse children, parents, grandparents and other direct and indirect relatives.

The European Economic Area (EEA) includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Portugal.

Although not a member of the European Union, citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway enjoy the same rights as other EU citizens to enter, live and work in the UK.

Nationals of the EU Economic Area and Switzerland are free to enter and leave the UK and live and work here. They can live and work in any EU member state according to their own choice. However, individuals must know that they have the ability to support themselves and their families (if their families are also in the UK) without relying on public relief, such as housing benefits.

Non-EEA family members

If the family members of EU citizens are not citizens of the European Economic Area or Switzerland, they can enter the UK with the applicant, but they are subject to corresponding restrictions. Before entering the UK, you need to apply for EEA family permission.

Human rights/refugee visas

Applicability: being abused in the original country of residence, unfair treatment by the government, etc.

1998 British bill of rights

Generally speaking, the human rights visa can be said to be the last weapon to obtain a visa under the entire British immigration law. It is usually applicable to visa refusal (the new law stipulates that the ordinary points system has no right of appeal, but the family members still retain the right of appeal), and appeals to the immigration court through relevant customs clearance according to the human rights law, the most common one is Human Rights Law 1998.

Applications made under the Act are called discretionary residence applications/appeals. This kind of application usually requires the applicant to prove that the following conditions need to be met:

Applicants must have lived in the UK continuously for at least 20 years; or

Applicants must be over 65438 and under 08, and have lived in the UK for at least seven consecutive years; or

Applicants must be at least 18 years old but under 25 years old, and have resided in the UK for at least half of the time; or

Applicants must be at least 18 years old or above, have lived in the UK for less than 20 years, and have no social, cultural or family ties with their country of origin.

The benefits of immigrating to Britain

Communication is more convenient.

For new immigrants, there is always a big problem, which is language communication. Although Portugal, Spain, France and Greece are also very popular immigrant countries, French, German and Spanish are still relatively unpopular languages for most people. In life, apart from Mandarin, English is definitely the most, and most people have been exposed to some English to some extent. So life in Britain is relatively easy, at least there is no big problem in communication.

High-end education quality

Every parent is most concerned about the education of their children, and emigrating overseas is nothing more than wanting their children to receive a better education. The education level in Britain is relatively advanced all over the world. Some famous universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge, are located here. After receiving elite education or high school education in the UK, it is easy to get admission to some universities in the UK or China. If you are proficient in English, you will be able to go further around the world.

Diversification of investment methods

Compared with the combination of national debt and real estate chosen by immigrant applicants before, although the amount of funds invested by British immigrants has increased after the political changes, investors with certain risk-taking ability have no worries about covering their positions because the requirement of quarterly asset evaluation report has been cancelled, so the investment portfolio they can choose is more abundant and diversified. Corporate bonds, new energy, manor, government infrastructure, stocks, etc. Few investors have considered it before, and it will definitely win the favor of more people in the future.

The willful choice of high-asset groups

British immigrants have always been described as a game of local tyrants. Although it is a game, the investors themselves ultimately benefit. Britain is a good place for investment, development and success. Britain received a total of 720 billion pounds of foreign direct investment from 54 countries. Looking around, Britain is still the most attractive European country for foreign direct investment, attracting an average of 28 projects every week and creating nearly 2,000 jobs.

First-class welfare treatment

The most attractive thing for British immigrants is the all-round welfare from birth to death, and among many social benefits, the most attractive one is the full name of free medical care, NHS. Britain is one of the few countries in the world that implement the system of free medical care for all. Its national medical service NHS is the largest public medical service in the world. As long as British residents are entitled to free medical care for all. This is beyond our people's power.
