money is not everything but it can get you in the UK and settlement in a couple of years
Foreign millionaires are flocking to use a little-known immigration scheme that allows wealthy individuals to jump to the top of the queue for permanent residency.

Its not surprising Joe.
could they change it from £1 million to 1 million peso, that would help many true people
Nice one steve.And if I had £1million I wouldnt be here.
Andy we dont need £1 million, be nice though, anything between 50,000 and that figure and i would be looking for flights

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/g...n-Britain.html2 years, as long as that..my wife was in the UK a year to the day after our first meeting...
just over 7 months from me landing at manila to Em landing at manchester
What I mean't was...I first met my wife online at 1600h on December 6 2008...she then arrived UK with my goodself December 6 2009...arriving at our house 0700h.
Considerably less buys you a green card in the USA. Most countries have similar investment visa schemes, and its something that should be encouraged. Most countries link the scheme to a certain amount of sustainable employment.
so quick, but if it feels right, well why wait
one rule for the wealthy and one second class rule for uk born and bread citizens,
i think its a disgrace. a mockery of immigration rules
Why? People that bring in money, investment, jobs should be welcomed shouldn't they? Much better then people who come in to use the public services and take advantage of the welfare state.
Absolutely agree Ricky..oh, thanks for the rep 29 September ...I only just found out!
Yes, it should be encouraged...goodness, even the Philippines accept this method. If you ask me it makes sound business sense.
Actually the mockery is folks coming here from all 4 corners of the globe expecting the British tax payer to shoulder there burden.
in my opinion i think both make a mockery, are not both a way of abusing the system?
Snap!

As it says it's been in place for a long while - threshold obviously needs ramping up - I'm pretty sure a similar set up applies in Oz, NZ etc
Think about why immigration exists, its essentially racism. The principle is to prevent your country being overun by undesirables such as those who cannot afford to live in the country.
In most countries you can obtain residency by several methods such as; having skills that the country desires, bringing in investment, having exceptional talent, by being able to invest in the country or through family/marriage.
The stipulations linked to investment visas bring benefits to everyone, and many of the people coming in on investment visas aren't wealthy bankers, but business people who have worked hard to earn a living for themselves and bring jobs to other people.
The population of the UK isn't increasing anywhere near as rapidly as people assume, emmigration from the UK is also at a high level (not as much as immigration, but nonetheless still high). The problem is that the immigration that has occurred in the UK in the last 15 years hasn't been skilled people who can contribute to society, rather its people that a burden to the public services. It's nice to be charitable and allow people regardless of nationality the opportunities to work in the UK, but the last 15 years has proven that you can't just open up the borders freely.
Bring in skilled people, bring in money, bring in employers, let the country prosper.
Couple this with kicking out the scum, extremists, criminals and wasters and we might get back to being a decent place to live
Would be nice wouldn't it! Can we add politicians to that list though ?
while there is a free europe, it will never ever happen,
£1 million 20 years ago was a considerable amount but nowdays carries no guaranteed benefits for the country. Needs to be considerably ramped up in my opinion
But consider for the Tier 1 investment visa you need £2,000,000 to start with and then £1,000,000 you invest is tied up until the visa expires/you get citizenship.
Sounds like a pretty bad investment proposal to me..I`ll give it 20 years until they think of something else...
Hopefully I`ll be dead by then.
What a superb post
Absolutely agree.
Well worth a rep from everyone, I say
Btw I like your description of 'undesirables'
