TIER 1 – INVESTOR VISA


The Tier 1 (Investor) category is for high-net-worth individuals who want to make a substantial financial investment in the UK.

 

Eligibility:

To qualify for a Tier 1 (Investor) visa under the UK points-based system, applicants must score a minimum of 75 points for attributes including investment amount.

There are no English language, sponsorship or maintenance requirements for the Tier 1 (Investor) visa.

 

To score points for investment, applicants must have:


  • The candidate has a minimum of £1 million. The money must be their own and must be held in a regulated UK financial institution. The money must also be disposable in the United Kingdom.
  • The candidate has personal assets to the value of more than £2 million taking into account any liabilities.
  • The candidate has an amount of no less than £1 million, which is under their control and is held in a regulated UK financial institution. This may include money which has been loaned to them if the financial institution providing the loan is regulated by the Financial Services Authority.


 

Tier 1 (Investor) visa applicants may also be required to meet certain health and character requirements.

 

Visa holder entitlements


  • A Tier 1 (Investor) visa entitles the holder to live and work in the UK. A Tier 1 (Investor) visa is usually granted for an initial period of up to three (3) years and extensions may be granted.
  • Spouses and unmarried children under 18 years of age may be included on the visa application to accompany their spouse or parent to the UK.
  • The Tier 1 (Investor) visa may lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) which entitles individuals to permanent residency in the UK.
  • The main and all secondary applicants (spouse and children) enjoy FREE medical and primary/high schools once visa is granted.
  • The visa holder has to reside in UK at least 180 days in a year.


 

Settlement:

Regular Tier 1 Investor visa holders in the UK can apply for permanent residence after five years in the country, however more significant investments could lead to fast-tracked settlement. Those who


  • Invest £10 million or more may qualify after two years, while
  •  Investments over £5 million will qualify after three years.
