第一層級(投資移民簽證)
馬恩島投資移民簽證是一類優先級別的移民簽證,這類簽證允許投資者自由地在馬恩島和英國生活、工作和做生意。
第一層級(投資移民簽證)允許任何歐洲經濟共同體以外的人在馬恩島和英國生活、工作及做生意,前提是投資200萬英鎊或更多資金到馬恩島的公司或企業的運營及交易中。
這類簽證類似於2019年4月29日以前實施的英國的第一層級投資移民簽證,這意味著2019年及2020年的前期,馬恩島仍有這個特殊的機會可以申請這類簽證,儘管這個類別的簽證已不再適用於英國本土。另外,這類簽證的持有者甚至可以在不成為英國納稅人的情況下申請英國永居和入籍英國。
投資必須是能動有效的,目前投資到銀行帳戶、管理基金及房地產項目等已不符合要求。儘管如此,有許多符合要求的投資,金利律師行可以審核並鑑別投資計劃是否符合簽證要求。
第一層級投資移民簽證適用於海外的新客戶,也適用於已在馬恩島及英國的客戶,以及那些持有長期簽證但需要辦理轉簽的客戶。海外申請者通過相關的英國移民代理機構辦理英國簽證,來自馬恩島和英國的申請者則直接通過馬恩島移民機構辦理馬恩島簽證。
鑒於這類簽證在不久的將來會被其他類別的簽證取代,任何有興趣欲在目前政策條件下辦理此類簽證的客戶,請盡快聯絡金利律師行,以確保你的申請準備充分且適時遞交。
Common Questions
How good does my English need to be?
You do not need to prove your English language ability at the outset. However, before you can obtain ILR you will need to demonstrate your English level in a way prescribed under the Immigration Rules, for instance by passing the IELTS Life Skills test at CEFR level B1 across speaking and listening.
Can I bring my family?
Yes, this category allows a spouse or partner and minor children to move with the main applicant, and they can work, subject to work permits and conditions set out in the Immigration Rules. Older children may need to be considered as a separate case: Kinley Legal can advise on this.
Can I live in the UK on this visa?
Provided that you comply with the conditions of the visa, the UK recognises the right of the holder to be in the UK.
Do I need a criminal record certificate to obtain this visa?
You and your adult dependants will typically need to obtain criminal record certificates from each country you have lived in in the last 10 years. Kinley Legal can confirm the requirements in your case.
Do I need to pay NHS Surcharge?
No, there is no NHS Surcharge in the Isle of Man. This means that the costs of making an Isle of Man visa application are often considerably cheaper than in the UK.
What if I invest a larger amount?
If you invest GBP5,000,000 or GBP10,000,000 you may be able to apply for ILR after three, or even two, years, rather than the normal five years.
Do I need to spend all my time in the Isle of Man?
No. You will still be eligible for ILR, provided you have spent at least 180 days in each year in any of the Isle of Man, the UK and the Channel Islands.
Can I work on this visa?
Yes, this visa offers you complete freedom to work for yourself or someone else in the Isle of Man.
Do I need a work permit in addition to my visa?
The main holder of a Tier 1 (Investor) visa is exempt from the requirement to hold a separate Isle of Man work permit. Your dependants may need work permits: Kinley Legal can help assess this.
I applied for this visa, but have been refused. Can Kinley Legal help?
Yes, contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss your options. Unlike in the UK, in the Isle of Man applicants have a full right of appeal against immigration decisions, which means that if you have wrongly been refused, an appeal can often be heard by an independent immigration judge within weeks.
