UK Citizenship by Investment

The UK Investment Visa allows foreign investors to get UK residency and citizenship in exchange for investment. The UK government launched a point-based system, which included Tier 1 Investor and Tier 2 Entrepreneur visas. However, after some time, the UK government officially made a decision to close the Tier 1 Investor Visa route for the new applications owing to security reasons.

The Tier 1 Investor Visa, along with the Entrepreneur and Startup visas have been replaced by the Innovator Found Visa. The Innovator Founder visa allows overseas entrepreneurs and investors to set up a new innovative business in the UK and get settled down after 3 years. This UK citizenship by investment program is designed for those who have sufficient funds to set up and grow a business in the UK.

The Innovator Founder visa is one of the quickest means to attain British citizenship as usually other visa holders are required to wait for a minimum of 5 years before applying for UK citizenship. Designed for entrepreneurs, investing a minimum of £50,000 allows them to reside in the UK and operate their businesses.

Before applying for the Innovator Visa, one should have a business idea that is assessed by a Home Office-approved body. They would analyze and evaluate the viability of the business idea. If it gets approved, they shall provide an endorsement letter to submit along with the application.
Those who acquire the Innovator visa successfully are granted leave for three years at a time and can bring their family to the UK.

After those three years, the innovators can apply for an extension of their stay for a further three years. This way, they can settle down permanently in the UK under the ILR – Indefinite leave to remain.
The Innovator Visa has three stages: the initial application, extension, and settlement. And all these stages need an endorsement from an endorsing body.
