Six requirements for British entrepreneurs to apply for immigration

# UK Immigrants # Introduction British entrepreneur immigrants refer to those who invest 200,000 pounds to establish or take over or actively run one or more enterprises. The project aims to have basic English language ability. The visa is in the form of 3+2, signed for three years and then renewed for two years. After completing a five-year entrepreneur immigrant visa in the UK, you can change to a permanent visa in the UK. The following are six requirements for applying for British entrepreneur immigration compiled by KaoNet. Welcome to read!

1. Six requirements for applying for immigration of British entrepreneurs

1. The applicant must be at least 18 years old; 2. Invest 200,000 pounds, or the equivalent of 200,000 pounds;

3. The applicant's IELTS score is 4 (or other certificates equivalent to the EU language standard CEFRB 1), except for applicants who have already held a British university degree certificate;

4. Within six months after landing in the UK, register a new company in the UK, or join other existing companies in the form of joint venture, and ensure the normal operation of the company;

5. The operating company to which the applicant belongs needs to increase the positions of two or more full-time employees (British nationals, European Union nationals and foreigners with permanent residency in the UK) for at least 65,438+02 months;

6. Leave the UK for no more than 180 days each year.

As an old capitalist empire, Britain is an important trading entity, an economic power and a financial center. It is the fifth largest economic system in the world and one of the richest, most developed and highest living standards countries in the world. It can be said that the British entrepreneur immigration project itself has a unique background advantage. I believe that with the deepening of Sino-British cooperation, the British entrepreneur immigration project will become a new bridge for China entrepreneurs to reach the UK. In particular, I would like to remind all applicants that the threshold of the British entrepreneur immigration project has been lowered after the policy has been continuously revised, which shows that the British government is sincere about this project.

2. Matters needing attention after immigrating to the UK

For those who are about to emigrate, living in a new atmosphere will make people feel expectation and excitement. However, many people lack psychological preparation for the upcoming cultural conflict. If these differences are not understood and adjusted in time, cultural conflicts may bring long-term troubles to immigrants. Compared with traditional eastern countries, British culture is quite different from China in many aspects. The specific aspects that new immigrants need to pay attention to are as follows:

1. Value identification: British people's values are also very different from those of China people. Compared with China people's understanding, westerners headed by Britain are more direct and don't like beating around the bush. In British values, family and health come first. Everyone seems to care more about "enjoying the present" than excessively pursuing "things outside the body", and it is rare to see someone who has been troubled by trivial matters for a long time. At the same time, compared with the "label culture" popular in China in recent years, the British people are more tolerant and respectful of others' personal choices, especially those that do not conform to their own personal values. Without established value terms, life here will be easier.

Traffic rules: Britain is one of the few countries in the world that drive on the left, as opposed to China. Moreover, the streets in Britain are generally narrow, so it will definitely take some time for China people who have just arrived in Britain to get used to it. In addition, the British people have a strong sense of traffic laws and regulations: cars give way to cars and cars give way to people. If someone runs a red light or blocks the left lane on the elevator to let others get on and off, other passers-by will come out to blame.

Three. Trading rules: Unlike the China market, the trading market in Britain is generally more open and transparent. The market laws and regulations in Britain are perfect, the supervision is in place, and people strictly abide by all the regulations, which is even rigid and inflexible in the eyes of many China people. However, it is precisely because of such trading rules that a level playing field is created, the gap between the rich and the poor is avoided, and social stability is maintained.

3. Elements of British investment immigration

At present, there are many people who apply for investment and immigration to Britain, and there are also many problems. For the holders of UK investment immigrant visas, the most important issue is to control the total investment at1000000 pounds per quarter (except for the first three months of arrival in the UK), and to require 75% (750000 pounds) of the investment to be invested in relevant industries of the UK Home Office on a quarterly basis, which undoubtedly increases the challenges faced by investors. If your investment is lower than the minimum requirement in a certain quarter, then investors must keep their total investment above the minimum standard in the next quarter, otherwise they need to "charge" their investment to reach the specified standard.

This quarterly investment requirement means that flexible investment methods (such as major changes in the amount of investment every quarter) are not applicable to investors holding Tier 1 investment immigration visas.

In addition, the British Home Office also has restrictions on investment in related industries. The Home Office of the United Kingdom requires that every investor holding a Tier 1 investment immigrant visa must invest at least 750,000 pounds of British government bonds or stocks and capital borrowed from existing local enterprises in the United Kingdom within the first three years and four months of the application period, instead of those companies that are in principle property rights investments.

In fact, Tier 1 investment immigrants in the UK do not require all the total assets to be invested in treasury bonds, and 25% of the flexible part can still be used for investment in commercial real estate, finance and other industries, and can also be used to buy shares of unlisted trading companies. This is undoubtedly to expand the investment of 1 million pounds to a wider range of capital and property rights investment. At the same time, investors are advised to use capital to invest in portfolio securities, find a reliable risk management team or financial manager, and invest this portfolio securities in various British government bonds, private shares and corporate bonds with their own professional knowledge and experience in related fields.

In a word, it is not a single choice for China people to invest and immigrate to Britain, nor is it an inevitable choice to have both. Instead, we can make reasonable planning and tailor-made solutions for both investors and immigrants through professional and in-depth understanding and analysis of policies and investment environment. In the early stage of British economic recovery, we should seize good investment opportunities, provide excellent growth environment and guarantee for personal property, and also obtain healthier living space for ourselves and our families to settle in Britain.
