Worldway Comprehensive News: Recently, the UK has become very popular as many entrepreneurs are following President Xi on visits and business negotiations in the UK. For a long time, the UK has been a dream destination for many immigrants. However, with the new immigration policy introduced last year, the investment amount for immigration to the UK has increased to £2 million, significantly raising the difficulty and risk of immigration. Obtaining permanent residency in the UK through Chinese identity now takes over 5 years, leaving many investors feeling hopeless. However, there is a fast track for immigration to the UK; did you know about it?

    After the introduction of the new UK immigration policy, non-EU individuals wishing to immigrate directly to the UK from China must meet the following requirements: applicants must be at least 18 years old, must reside before investing, and must complete the investment within three months while not exceeding 180 days of absence from the UK each year. After 5 years of investment, they can apply for permanent residency. Moreover, the full investment amount of £2 million must be invested in designated government bonds, corporate bonds, or stocks, and the option to use 25% of the investment amount for purchasing property or fixed deposits has been removed, along with the formal abolition of the loan application for investment immigration. This new policy makes it very difficult for Chinese investors to obtain UK residency in a short time through this method.


    In fact, there is a fast track to obtain UK residency. Given the new UK immigration policy, it seems impossible to quickly obtain UK residency directly with a Chinese identity. Worldway immigration experts state that the new policy raises the investment threshold and comes with higher risks, and the restrictions on large amounts of funds suggest that one could try an indirect method to achieve quick permanent residency in the UK. Currently, Cyprus only requires 3 months to obtain residency by investing €2.5 million to acquire a Cypriot EU passport, which provides a shortcut to quickly obtain UK residency. Cyprus is an EU country, and obtaining citizenship in Cyprus allows one to hold an EU passport, enabling residence, education, healthcare, work, and business benefits in 28 EU countries (including the UK). Holding a Cypriot passport grants the right to settle in the UK and immediately enjoy permanent residency benefits, with the ability to apply for British citizenship after 5 years. This is an economical and effective way to address the increased immigration thresholds and difficulties in investing in the UK.
