"British investment immigrants should guard against traps and scams" for your reference.

British investment immigrants should beware of traps. "Although' 200,000 pounds entrepreneurial immigration' is the simplest, easiest and fastest investment immigration project with British characteristics, the refusal rate is also high, because it is possible to find a suitable investment project."

Although the British investment immigration project is hype, the reporter will still be skeptical. "There will be no trap in this!" I heard that many of these cash investment immigration projects will eventually lose all their money. "

For the reporter's question, immigration experts also admit that there is the possibility of fraud. "If you don't read this immigration law carefully, you may be framed by some unscrupulous real estate agents. In 20 13, there were many fraud cases in the immigration project of 200,000 pounds. For example, according to the regulations, 200,000 pounds will be invested in a project for unsecured investment, but some intermediaries will play tricks on customers,' You can use 250,000 pounds of property as a guarantee, and if the investment cannot be recovered, the property will be owned by the customers'. As we all know, this practice is against the policy of the British Immigration Service. Once discovered, you will not be able to apply for a green card, and you will not be able to apply for a British visa within 10 years. "

In addition, according to the British investment immigration policy, if you choose to invest 6.5438+0 million pounds in cash, you can choose to buy 5-year government bonds with interest; If you choose 200,000 pounds of venture capital, the funds must be invested in an industry or company in the UK and create certain employment opportunities for local people. Although "200,000 pounds entrepreneurial immigration" is the simplest, easiest and fastest investment immigration project with British characteristics, the refusal rate is also high because it is possible to find a suitable investment project.

Seeing the economic opportunities brought by investment immigration, European countries, including Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal and Cyprus, gradually relaxed their investment immigration policies from the end of 201/kloc-0. In addition to the UK, Portugal has attracted the attention of global investors with its relaxed residence conditions of 24 hours at the earliest and only 7 days per year on average, provided that it only needs to buy more than 500,000 euros of real estate locally. The Netherlands only requires the establishment of a company in its own country and the deposit of 50,000 euros of start-up capital in the bank account of the subsidiary, and there is no requirement for the number of employees and turnover of the subsidiary. Latvia, Cyprus, Greece, Spain and other countries only need to buy real estate to obtain the right of abode. In addition, European countries generally do not require proof of the source of assets.

European countries made a "good start" because of the debt crisis, and some countries with loose policies had to raise the threshold because of overcrowding. Facing the wave of "approaching China people", Canada raised the capital requirement of federal investment immigrants from 400,000 Canadian dollars to 800,000 Canadian dollars. However, there is almost no risk because of the government guarantee, so the applicants are still in an endless stream. Faced with a serious imbalance between supply and demand, Canada has to tighten its policy again. According to the Canadian Immigration Bureau, from June 20 14 to June 20 14, the age limit of the applicant's accompanying children will be reduced from the current 22 years old to 19 years old. At the same time, Canada introduced a new immigration law, which greatly increased the investment to more than 2 million Canadian dollars.

In addition to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, which have always been popular choices for China people to invest in immigration, also raised the application threshold for investment immigration on 20 12, which kept many China investment immigrants out.
