Precautions for entering the UK:

First, we should pay attention to the policies implemented by Britain.

Because the policies implemented by each country are different, and if you don't understand the policies implemented by Britain, it is easy to touch its borders, leading to unpredictable consequences and bringing unnecessary trouble to yourself. Therefore, those applicants who immigrate to Britain must understand the relevant policies of their own countries, so that they can live a better life.

Secondly, we should pay attention to the living habits and manners in Britain.

For any country, manners are different, and if you immigrate to Britain, you should learn to do as the Romans do, because some things are taboo and some manners are necessary, such as shaking hands first when meeting, but for some countries, it is hugging, so the manners in different countries are different. Some festivals are celebrated in Britain, and table manners are very important.

Third, we should pay attention to the climate change and clothes in Britain.

Because Britain is located in Europe, the weather changes are different from those in China, so for immigrant applicants, they should pay attention to the climate in Britain before immigration in order to better prevent the problems caused by the weather; There is also the need to pay attention to British clothes, because the clothes on formal occasions are different from those in daily life, so we should pay special attention to them.

Further reading: the investment immigration cycle in Britain

The application period for investment immigrants in the UK is very short. It usually takes about 4 months from preparing documents to finally obtaining a residence visa, which is faster than the investment immigration in any country at present. The processing time of immigration is only about 6 weeks. After the successful application for investment immigration, only the main applicant needs to reach the prescribed residence period, and his spouse and children will automatically obtain permanent residency. If the applicant meets certain living conditions, he can apply for British citizenship in the sixth year after successful immigration.

British investment immigrants do not acquire British citizenship in one step. At the beginning, the British Home Office issued a three-year entry permit visa for the whole family. Two months before the entry permit visa expires, the application for residence visa will be extended for two years. The two-year extended residence visa expires before you can get a permanent residence permit for the whole family. In the sixth year, people who meet the living conditions can apply for British citizenship. The requirement of living conditions is that you will stay outside the UK for no more than 450 days during your second to fifth years in the UK. Naturalization applicants are counted individually, not by family. However, after becoming a British citizen, the departure time is no longer restricted.

According to the requirements of British immigrants, investment immigration applicants will be graded in the future. Only applicants with 75 points are eligible. For first-time applicants, as long as you have a deposit of 6,543,800+0,000 pounds, and you can spend it freely in the UK, or you have 2 million pounds of private assets, and an authorized financial institution provides you with a loan of 6,543,800 pounds, you can get 75 points in the score.

Generally speaking, the new regulations are more convenient than restrictive for investment immigration applicants. Especially in the newly implemented scoring system, the qualification examination has a relatively objective standard, and the lifting of work restrictions is more conducive to the main applicant to restart his career in the UK according to his own wishes.
