Mode of immigration
I. Investing in immigrants and settling in the UK (investors)
For those who have invested at least 6,543,800 pounds or more in the UK, they can take their spouses and minor children as investors to settle in the UK. After proving that they have the ability to control 6,543,800+pounds, investors can usually get a visa for 3 years +2 years, and after living in the UK for 5 years, they can apply for a permanent residence (settlement) visa in the UK.
Investors do not need to provide English scores, but applicants who are under 65 when applying for settlement need to pass the British life knowledge test and the English listening and speaking ability test.
Second, entrepreneurs who have settled in the UK (entrepreneurs)
It is mentioned in the British immigration policy that those who are interested in starting a business and doing business in the UK can invest different amounts of money to start a business in the UK according to different situations, create employment opportunities for British locals and obtain a British entrepreneur visa. They can also apply for a residence visa in the UK after five years (3+2).
The current investment quota of entrepreneurs is 200,000 pounds and 50,000 pounds. Among them, applicants for the 50,000-pound route must hold a PSW visa in the UK. Entrepreneurial visa application requires applicants to provide English scores (minimum requirements, taking IELTS as an example, need 4 points), and applicants under the age of 65 need to pass the British life knowledge test and English listening and speaking ability test in English when applying for residence. Spouses and minor children can apply together and settle down together.
Third, workers settle down (workers)
People who are employed by local British enterprises and hold Tier2 (ordinary) in the UK can apply for a residence visa in the UK if their annual salary reaches 35,000 pounds before tax.
When applying for a job, applicants need to provide English scores and corresponding technical ability certificates. Applicants under the age of 65 need to pass the English life knowledge test and the English listening and speaking ability test when applying for residence. Spouses and minor children can apply together and settle down together.
Fourth, family members settle down (family members)
Parents, spouses and children of British natives (including British nationals, residence visas and EU nationals) can apply for residence visas after meeting the corresponding conditions. Applicants under the age of 65 are required to provide English scores. When applying for settlement, they need to pass the English test of British life knowledge and the English listening and speaking ability test.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) applicant for long-term residence.
People who have lived in the UK for 10 years and have been holding legal visas can apply for settlement on the grounds of long-term residence in the UK if they are satisfied that there has been no "visa interruption" during this 10 year and there are no other bad records or criminal situations.
Applicants under the age of 65 are required to provide English scores. When applying for settlement, they need to pass the English test of British life knowledge and the English listening and speaking ability test. It should be noted that permanent residents cannot apply for their spouses and minor children at the same time when applying for settlement, and they need to apply for visas and settlement for their families after obtaining permanent residence visas.
Immigration requirements
The first category is students who are interested in studying in the UK above 18. Parents are advised to consider the development direction of their children after graduation and make immigration plans in advance when arranging their study abroad plans for their children.
The second category is suitable for children to study in the UK, and parents are interested in accompanying them. If the parents accompanying them to the UK are the main applicants, the investment of 654.38+0 million pounds will enable parents and children to obtain resident status, and the tuition fees for children attending local public schools will be free after obtaining this status.
The third category is people who have a strong desire to live in Britain. Some small and medium-sized cities in Britain are very livable, attracting many families who want to live in Europe.
Then the next question is how to apply for British immigration? Someone asked what to do if both parents are under 65? British immigration policy allows applications, but if there is no reasonable reason to apply in advance, applications can easily be rejected. And since April 6, the visa fee for this visa has been raised to RMB 18480 per applicant, which is not recommended. When parents are under the age of 65 or the guarantor has not obtained permanent residency in the UK, we suggest that parents apply for a visit visa for half a year. If the applicant has a good entry and exit record in the UK before immigrating to the UK, he can apply for a long-term visit visa of 1- 10 years. If parents with tourist visas are just over 65 when visiting relatives in the UK, they can directly submit their applications for permanent residence in the UK without returning to China.
In addition, the conditions for immigrating to Britain include that the guarantor must prove that he is the only or main economic pillar, and the evidence to be provided includes funds and other relatives.
First, regardless of whether the guarantor and the applicant are separated, the visa officer also needs you to provide proof that you support your parents.
Secondly, this kind of application also needs to look at other very important aspects, such as the situation of other relatives of the applicant: for example, the guarantor has other brothers and sisters in China who also have the responsibility of support. In this case, even if the financial conditions of the British guarantor are better than those of other relatives in China, such an application will be very difficult.
Third, like all visas, the main applicant needs to provide his own financial situation (such as work income and bank deposits), as well as proof of housing in the UK and so on.
