The United Kingdom (UK) is one of the most connected countries in the world and a highly desirable destination for private clients. At its centre is the capital city of London, a cultural phenomenon that attracts people of virtually every nation in the world. The UK has long been an important link between Europe and the Americas, with multiple daily flights to New York, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. It is also well connected to Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
UK Investor Programme
The UK Investor Programme requires an applicant to make a significant investment into UK Corporate Bonds, UK Shares or pooled investments into UK Government backed funds. The applicant is required to make the requisite investment within 90 days of entry into the UK. The minimum investment amount depends on how quickly the applicant wishes to attain ‘Indefinite Leave to Remain’ (ILR) in the UK, otherwise known as permanent residence:
• GBP 2 million allows the applicant to apply for ILR after 5 years
• GBP 5 million allows the applicant to apply for ILR after 3 years
• GBP 10 million allows the applicant to apply for ILR after 2 years
