Recently, the UK Home Office confirmed that a new UK immigration policy will be implemented on June 11, with the investment immigration amount increasing to £200,000. Worldway immigration experts analyze that the new UK immigration policy will stimulate the EU passport programs, leading more UK immigrants constrained by financial pressures to choose alternative immigration routes in other EU countries.
UK Landscape
After the introduction of the new UK immigration policy, applicants for UK immigration must be at least 18 years old, reside before investing, and complete the investment within three months while ensuring that the total number of days spent outside the UK does not exceed 180 days per year. After 5 years of investment, applicants can apply for permanent residency. Furthermore, the full investment amount of £200,000 must be invested in designated government bonds, corporate bonds, or stocks, and the option to use 25% of the investment for purchasing property or fixed deposits has been removed, along with the formal removal of the loan application method for investment immigration.
Regarding the introduction of the new UK immigration policy, Worldway analysts believe that the increased investment threshold comes with higher risks. Compared to the significant financial requirements of UK investment immigration, the advantages of EU passport programs such as Cyprus are becoming more prominent and increasingly popular. Cyprus is an EU country, and obtaining citizenship in Cyprus allows holders to live, study, receive medical care, work, and conduct business in 28 EU countries (including the UK), enjoying the same treatment as UK citizens. Moreover, those who meet the conditions after five years can apply for UK citizenship. This presents a new, economically viable way to address the heightened immigration thresholds and challenges in the UK while alleviating investment pressures.

Worldway is actively promoting the Cyprus passport program, where applicants only need to purchase a property worth over €250,000 or multiple properties worth over €300,000. Within three months, the entire family can obtain the Cyprus passport, which is an EU passport. Holding an EU passport allows you to freely reside in 28 EU countries, enjoying the same rights as citizens of those countries. You can choose from countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Italy. Regardless of which country you reside in, you will enjoy all the benefits of citizenship, including top-notch healthcare, education, childcare allowances, pensions, business opportunities, and favorable tax systems.
To help more investors seize the current immigration opportunity presented by the decline in European exchange rates and historically low European property prices, Worldway has launched the "EU Citizen Month" with significant discounts for Cyprus citizenship applications. Until November 17, both new and existing clients can enjoy special offers, making the EU passport application an opportunity not to be missed! For more details, please inquire at: 400-138-2929.
