2. Benefits of immigrating to the UK

1. The environment for investment immigration in the UK

The UK has a mild climate, pleasant environment, history and culture With profound cultural background, good education level and good social security, it has always been an ideal choice for immigrant investors.

?The current real estate market in the UK, especially the London area, is in a golden period for investment, with relatively low exchange rates and housing prices. Therefore, from an immigration perspective, the UK is indeed the most ideal country for many people who intend to immigrate. The British investment immigration program is the fastest and has the lowest investment risk among many popular immigration countries. There are two investment methods: one is full investment, that is, investing 1.05 million pounds to purchase British government bonds; the other is a direct investment of 190,000 pounds, about 2.1 million yuan, with no return.

?The United Kingdom has the oldest social welfare system, and the entire European and American social welfare systems originated in the United Kingdom. Since the investment method is to purchase government bonds, banks help investors complete their investments. If you choose the full investment form, not only can the principal be recovered after the deposit matures, but you can also receive corresponding interest at an annual interest rate of 2.5%. Therefore, the double insurance provided by the "bank government" makes the risk of British investment immigration extremely small, or even completely risk-free. The requirements for the British investment immigration project are very simple, generally above 95%. Applicants with suitable conditions can complete the application process and obtain a visa in as little as 3 months.

2. The UK’s favorable preferential policies for investment immigration

The British government has always attached great importance to the introduction of foreign investment. In order to encourage overseas investment immigrants to do business in the UK, the government has successively introduced a series of preferential investment immigration policies. The government divides the country into several different regions based on the economic development status of each region, and provides financial support for investment projects in some regions. Foreign-invested enterprises in the UK are allowed to enjoy exactly the same national treatment as British-invested enterprises. The government sets very few restrictions on investment. It stipulates that investment projects, investment methods and investment proportions can generally be freely chosen except in special fields.

1. Implement preferential tax policies

(1) Lower tax rates: In order to effectively attract foreign investment, the government has repeatedly reduced corporate taxes. There are currently two main types of corporate tax: 20% for small companies with profits of 300,000 pounds; 30% for large companies with profits of more than 1.5 million pounds. For medium-sized companies, the corporate tax rate is between 20-30%.

(2) There are no foreign exchange controls. Profits earned by foreign companies established in the UK can be remitted freely without time or currency restrictions, and can be freely converted into various major international currencies. Capital expenditures are subsidized and competitive grants and incentives are available.

2. Encourage market opening and market competition

In order to improve the competitive environment, the government has successively abandoned monopoly operations in some industries and promoted the privatization of state-owned enterprises, thereby further reducing the government's control over enterprises. Intervention has expanded market openness and given foreign-invested enterprises more opportunities to participate in market competition. The government welcomes foreign investors who immigrate to the UK. Its foreign investment policies generally include national treatment for investing companies, and there are almost no restrictions on investment areas.

3. Conditions for UK spouse immigration

Currently, spouse visa applicants who need to submit language proof must meet the following three conditions at the same time:

1. The applicant is Non-EU nationals;

2. Have a marriage or stable love relationship with a British national or a person residing in the UK;

3. The applicant hopes to be a husband, wife, or cohabitant Enter or continue to reside in the UK as a person, fiancé(e), same-sex cohabitant or engaged partner.

In fact, the core idea of ??the spousal immigration trial is to examine the authenticity of the relationship between the two. As long as the relationship is genuine and the evidence is sufficient, the success rate of the visa is the same regardless of whether you are married or not. If the evidence is insufficient, even if you have obtained a marriage certificate, it will not be of any help to your visa. On the other hand, if two people have been dating for a certain period of time and to a certain extent, but have not married in China and are planning to get married in the UK, in this case, if the materials provided are enough to convince the visa officer, the visa officer will speed up the approval process.

In addition, according to recent British media reports, the British immigration policy will undergo major changes, and the UK will comprehensively improve the standards for foreign spouses to immigrate to the UK. It is reported that the British government is discussing that only the spouses of British residents with an annual income of at least 18,600 pounds (25,700 pounds) can immigrate to the UK. The government stated that this standard can ensure that the spouse of a British resident can maintain a normal life after coming to the UK without increasing the burden on the government. Some people point out that once implemented, this plan will reduce the number of family immigrants by at least 45%, which is unfair to those foreign spouses.
