The current heat of British immigration is still very high. When you are preparing for the application, you need to prepare carefully to ensure that your application can be passed smoothly.
How long does the typical UK immigration application cycle take?
Among the immigration processing cycle, it only takes about six weeks to be processed at the immigration office.
After successful investment immigration application, only the principal applicant is required to reach the stipulated residence years, and his or her spouse and children will automatically obtain permanent residence.
Applicants can apply for British citizenship six years after their immigration if they meet certain residency requirements.
UK investment immigration, is not a step to obtain British citizenship.
The Home Office initially issued a three-year entry permit for the whole family. Two months before the expiration of the entry permit, they applied for a two-year extended residence visa.
The permanent residence permit for the whole family will not be granted until the two-year extended residence visa expires.
In the sixth year, those eligible for residence can apply for British citizenship.
The residency requirement is to spend no more than 450 days outside the UK between the second and fifth years in the UK.
Applicants for citizenship are counted individually, not by family.
However, after becoming a British citizen, there is no longer a limit on how long you can leave the country.
In accordance with the latest requirements for immigration in the UK, investment immigration applicants will be graded in the future.
Only applicants with 75 points are eligible.
For first-time applicants, you can score 75 points on the scale as long as you have ¡ê1 million in savings that you can spend as you please in the UK, or ¡ê2 million in private assets and an authorised financial institution will lend you ¡ê1 million.
Generally speaking, the new regulations are more convenient for immigrant investors than restrictive.
In particular, the new demerit points system provides a relatively objective criterion for the qualification review, and the lifting of work restrictions makes it easier for the principal applicant to resume his or her career in the UK according to his or her personal aspirations.
1. Principal applicants must first submit their applications at the relevant British diplomatic and consular offices in their country of residence.
The principal applicant, spouse and children under the age of 18 will be granted short-term entry and residence permits for up to two years after being vetted by an immigration officer.
2. After the two-year period of residence, the principal applicant must apply for a “stay extension” in the UK.

Have invested no less than ¡ê1 million in the UK to provide for their own living, accommodation and other needs (other than being self-employed or running a business) without employment or public resources from the government
After a two-year extension of residence, the applicant may apply for an ILR (permanent residence).
The main applicant will be approved if he/she has entered the UK, has made the UK his/her main place of residence, and has lived in the UK for the majority of his/her life (i.e. at least 6 months per year, but preferably 9 months per year, especially if he/she has not yet taken up permanent residence) and has the English language ability to live in the UK.
Spouses and children under the age of 18 (while applying for permanent residence) also require proof of language ability to apply for permanent residence.
For many Chinese people around the world, perhaps the first thing the word “Manchester” conjures up is football or university.
But from a British perspective, Manchester is not just about football and universities. It also has an internationally renowned music scene, a diverse cultural makeup and a long and chequered history. It is also the most popular place to live and work outside London — a complex and vibrant polyhedron.
Liverpool, in the Merseyside county of northwest England, may be more familiar to many with the Beatles, the registered Titanic cruise ship and its two soccer clubs.
Historically, though, Liverpool had one of the largest economic circles in the UK, and in the 19th century the total wealth of Liverpool was even greater than that of London.
Although Liverpool also had a downturn in the transformation process, it began to recover in the late 20th century, and is now welcomed by the British government’s “Northern Powerhouse” project.
Located in southwest England, historic Bristol is a cultural center for theater and the arts, with stunning architecture, a beautiful harbor, rolling hills and pastoral landscapes.
