What changes have taken place in the New Deal?

0 1, stricter capital requirements

The New Deal requires investors to prove that they have held investment funds for more than two years from the previous 90 days, or to provide a more detailed explanation of the source of funds before applying for investment. For investors, capital requirements are more stringent.

02. Investment in entrepreneurial immigration projects decreased.

Second, investment has decreased. From the initial investment of 200,000 to only 50,000. According to the analysis, this is a very important positive for investors in China at present.

03. Entrepreneurial immigrants have higher language requirements for investors.

In terms of entrepreneur migration, there are two parts that have the greatest influence on investors. First of all, the language requirements for investors are improved: from the original 4 points (B 1) to 5.5 points (B2). This is to ensure that the applicant has a good English level. After all, they need to communicate with various commercial organizations and potential customers later.

04. The time limit for applying for permanent residence has been shortened.

The application period for new and innovative immigrants is 3+3+3 ... and if they meet the requirements of the New Deal, they can apply for permanent residence in 3 years. Compared with the original application cycle of entrepreneurial immigrants (average 5 years can apply for permanent residence), the time is obviously shortened, which will be more convenient and faster for investors who are worried about the time of immigration supervision.
