The immigration system of the UK is designed to attract entrepreneurs and investors.

When money flows in, it helps the British economy while creating opportunities for benefactors to visit and explore the country’s vibrant culture.

A Tier 1 investor visa is applicable for all those willing to invest £2,000,000 or more in the UK share or loan capital in active or trading UK registered companies.

Additional eligibility requirements include but are not limited to the fact that you must be over 18 years of age, and that your funds must be regulated by a UK verified bank.

Following March 2019, the criteria for Tier 1 investor visas have become stricter, and you should seek proper advice before setting out to pursue them.

Some points in the addendum to eligibility requirements in light of the changes made last year entail:

1. You pay the £2,000,000 price as an investor, rather than being the price placed at market value
2. The investment money belongs solely to you, your spouse or a legal partner
3. Your funds are readily available for investment in the UK
4. UK verified banks have the right to carry out audits and checks with your investment
