2019年3月7日，英國政府正式修改移民法：1. 進(jìn)一步收緊投資移民，大幅提高申請難度；2.確定關(guān)停英國企業(yè)家移民簽證，并用全新的創(chuàng)新者簽證取而代之。
英國移民新政策法規(guī)修訂通知》中的所有新規(guī)，都會(huì)在2019年3月29日正式生效。

1. 收緊投資移民，提高申請難度

先說說英國投資移民。

英國現(xiàn)行的投資移民政策要求申請人至少投資200萬英鎊，約1800萬人民幣，五年時(shí)間拿到英國綠卡。

如果你有更多錢，可以選擇投資500萬英鎊，約4500萬人民幣，3年拿到綠卡。

還嫌太慢？那可以選擇投資1000萬英鎊，約9000萬人民幣，2年拿到綠卡。

　　改革后的英國投資移民簽證將有以下四點(diǎn)重要變化：

1. 相比當(dāng)前投資移民申請只需要證明自己持有200萬鎊達(dá)到90天，改革后的新移民法要求申請者必須證明，在申請投資移民簽證之前，他們對自己的資金至少控制了兩年。

2. 進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)背景調(diào)查，未來投資移民申請人在遞交材料時(shí)，還要附上銀行對其所做的盡職調(diào)查證明（due diligencen checks），以及申請人的身份背景調(diào)查證明（Know Your Customer enquiries），以防冒用他人資金進(jìn)行申請等情況的發(fā)生。

3. 如果申請人需要通過投資中介（intermediary vehicles）來進(jìn)行投資，那這些投資中介必須要 接受英國FCA監(jiān)管，同時(shí)申請人必須保留完整的轉(zhuǎn)賬記錄。

英國移民局將對申請者的資產(chǎn)情況進(jìn)行 不定期檢查，若認(rèn)為申請人對投資款項(xiàng)無足夠控制權(quán)，或者資金不合法，或者投資對公共利益無益，則有權(quán)取消簽證或拒簽。

從90天到兩年，并加強(qiáng)審核投資人背景，英國政府其實(shí)是為了堵上一個(gè)大漏洞。


雖然英國投資移民需要200萬英鎊，但英國發(fā)達(dá)的金融行業(yè)早就想好了對策，他們利用貸款的方式，向投資移民申請人出借200萬英鎊。對于申請人來說，他們在過去實(shí)際上不需要真的拿出200萬，只用負(fù)擔(dān)利息成本，就能通過英國政府的審核，現(xiàn)在這條路算是被徹底堵上的。

4. 根據(jù)改革，英國投資移民簽證申請者將無法投資英國國債，200萬英鎊未來必須要投資英國當(dāng)?shù)乇就疗髽I(yè)中，確保英國企業(yè)能真正受益。

英國政府不再允許申請人投資低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的政府債券，轉(zhuǎn)而要求投資移民申請人把資金投入風(fēng)險(xiǎn)相對更高的英國企業(yè)。

投資移民說白了就是"花錢買簽證"，只要簽證拿到，其它投資風(fēng)險(xiǎn)越低越好，申請人其實(shí)并不在乎幾個(gè)點(diǎn)的收益差。

此番改革對于英國來說，可以把資金引入對英國經(jīng)濟(jì)貢獻(xiàn)更大的本土企業(yè)，但對申請人來說，卻大大增加了投資風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。


　　英國移民局3月7日移民法最新修改原文：

The government has today (7 March 2019) brought forward a number of changes to the Immigration Rules, which further demonstrate its commitment to attracting leading talent, whilst also cracking down on abuse.

The rules will provide skilled business people access to two new visa routes to set up businesses in the UK. The Start-up visa route will be open to those starting a business for the first time in the UK, while the Innovator visa route will be for more experienced business people who have funds to invest in their business.

Both routes will see endorsing bodies and business experts - rather than the Home Office - assessing applicants' business ideas. This will make sure that the routes are focussed on only the most innovative, viable and scalable businesses.

Alongside these new routes, the Home Office is also bringing forward reforms to the Tier 1 (Investor) route. The reformed route will better protect the UK from illegally obtained funds, whilst ensuring that genuine investors have access to a viable visa route. Applicants will be required to prove that they have had control of the required ￡2 million for at least two years, rather than 90 days, or provide evidence of the source of those funds.

The Home Office will also extend the salary exemption in the Tier 2 (General) visa so that the NHS and schools can continue to attract and hire experienced teachers, nurses and paramedics from overseas. The salary exemption applies to all nurses and paramedics, medical radiographers and secondary school teachers whose subjects are in maths, physics, chemistry, computer science and Mandarin.

A two-year scheme, which will allow up to 20 nurses from Jamaica to come to the UK to gain vital experience in NHS hospitals as part of an exchange scheme, has also been announced.

The government has already supported and relocated over 1,000 brave Afghan interpreters and their families, so they can rebuild their lives in the UK. However, in recognition of their support for the UK's armed forces, the Home Office is bringing forward rules changes so that eligible partners and children of interpreters still in Afghanistan can relocate to the UK at a later date.

Commenting on the changes, Immigration Minister Caroline Nokes said:

My priority is making sure that talented business people continue to see the UK as an attractive destination to develop their businesses. This will help create more jobs across the country and ensure our economy continues to thrive.

In addition to welcoming those who wish to contribute to our economy, we also recognise our duty to support the vulnerable. That is why I am proud that we are extending our commitment to the brave Afghan interpreters and their families so that they can rebuild their lives here, together, in safety.

However, what we will not tolerate is those who seek to abuse our system and that is why I am bringing forward new measures which will make sure that only genuine investors, who intend to support UK businesses, can benefit from our immigration system.

Other changes to the rules include:

The list of countries which benefit from the streamlined documentary requirements, found in Appendix H, has been updated to include Brazil, Kazakhstan, Mauritius, Oman, Peru and Tunisia. This change will not only benefit students, who will be able to apply for visas through a more streamlined process, but also help to ensure that the UK's world-leading education institutions remain competitive internationally.

We are increasing the initial period of leave granted to those who qualify for Stateless Leave from 30 months to 5 years, making it easier for those who are genuinely stateless and not able to live in any other country and cutting unnecessary bureaucracy. Also, to deter those who seek to abuse the system to benefit from stateless leave, changes are being made to the rules to make sure that only those who are genuinely entitled to stateless leave can qualify. This makes clearer that an individual is required to show that they have tried to obtain a nationality or right of residence in another country that they could reasonably expect to be entitled to, before benefitting from stateless leave. The government is clear that we will not tolerate those who seek to play the system to remain in the UK.

This government remains committed to bringing net migration down to sustainable levels, but also recognises the need to attract people who bring benefits to the UK and enable employers to have access to the skills they need.

2.關(guān)停英國企業(yè)家移民，推出英國創(chuàng)新者簽證

本次英國移民法的改革重點(diǎn)，當(dāng)屬關(guān)停已經(jīng)被濫用的企業(yè)家簽證。

英國未來將用初創(chuàng)簽證（Start-up visa）和創(chuàng)新者簽證（Innovator Visa），

正式取代畢業(yè)生企業(yè)家簽證（Tier1 Graduate Entrepreneur visa）和企業(yè)家簽證（Tier1 Entrepreneur visa）。

【初創(chuàng)簽證】（Start-upvisa）取代【畢業(yè)生企業(yè)家簽證】（Tier1 Graduate Entrepreneur visa）

畢業(yè)生企業(yè)家移民簽證原先只開放給英國大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，替換成初創(chuàng)簽證后，那些沒有在英國留過學(xué)的年輕創(chuàng)業(yè)者也通過這一簽證來到英國，內(nèi)政部不再嚴(yán)卡英國學(xué)歷。

除此之外，初創(chuàng)簽證時(shí)長也從原本畢業(yè)生企業(yè)家移民簽證的"一年"增長為"兩年"。

初創(chuàng)簽證沒有資金門檻，但需要達(dá)到語言要求，即英語語言需要達(dá)到B2級別，也就是雅思5.5或以上。

初創(chuàng)簽證的設(shè)立，意味著在新規(guī)定下，想要申請這個(gè)簽證的英國畢業(yè)生將面臨來自全世界的優(yōu)秀申請者的共同競爭，相當(dāng)于申請難度大大加大。

但對于英國政府來說，卻更有利于其挑出最具競爭力的申請者。

【創(chuàng)新者簽證】（InnovatorVisa）取代【企業(yè)家簽證】（Tier1 Entrepreneur visa）

關(guān)停企業(yè)家簽證后，英國推出創(chuàng)新者簽證，主要變化是：

降低了資金門檻，從原來最多人申請的20萬英鎊，一律統(tǒng)一降低到5萬英鎊，顯示出金額不是英國政府的主要考慮因素。

如果是從初創(chuàng)簽證轉(zhuǎn)到創(chuàng)新者簽證，可以連5萬英鎊都不用投資。

提高了對英語要求，需要達(dá)到B2級別或以上（雅思5.5或以上）。

另外值得注意的是，在新移民法下，申請人的商業(yè)模式必須得到第三方機(jī)構(gòu)的擔(dān)保，并由贊助人對其商業(yè)理念的創(chuàng)新性、可行性、可持續(xù)性進(jìn)行評估。

無論是初創(chuàng)還是創(chuàng)新者簽證，未來都"必須"先獲得受到英國內(nèi)政部認(rèn)證的贊助機(jī)構(gòu)的擔(dān)保（Endorsement）。拿到擔(dān)保之后，才能夠進(jìn)一步申請簽證。

這一變化背后其實(shí)很有用意。

對比以往由不懂創(chuàng)業(yè)的簽證官來審核申請者的商業(yè)計(jì)劃書，改革后要求"申請人的商業(yè)模式必須得到第三方機(jī)構(gòu)的認(rèn)可"，相當(dāng)于把審核商業(yè)計(jì)劃書的職責(zé)交給了更專業(yè)的第三方（比如風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資機(jī)構(gòu)、孵化器、商業(yè)咨詢公司等）。

這樣一來，申請者的商業(yè)計(jì)劃書的真實(shí)性能夠得到進(jìn)一步保證，畢竟糊弄移民官容易，糊弄專業(yè)的風(fēng)投可難多了。

這樣的改革，其實(shí)也是在鼓勵(lì)真正的精英創(chuàng)業(yè)者，而非"冒牌企業(yè)家"拿到簽證。

和企業(yè)家簽證一樣，創(chuàng)新者簽證最后也是可以換英國綠卡的。

但相比過去，英國移民局的審核將更加嚴(yán)格，五年后申請永居的創(chuàng)新者簽證持有人需要滿足以下七個(gè)條件中的任意兩點(diǎn)，才能拿到英國綠卡：

1）投資至少5萬英鎊，并積極推進(jìn)此前被認(rèn)證的商業(yè)計(jì)劃書

2）客戶數(shù)量在近3年內(nèi)至少翻一番，且高于同類英國企業(yè)的平均客戶數(shù)量

3）投入或參與重大的研究開發(fā)活動(dòng)，且在英國申請知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)

4）在最后一個(gè)財(cái)年創(chuàng)收100萬英鎊

5）在最后一個(gè)財(cái)年創(chuàng)造至少50萬英鎊的年收入，其中至少10萬磅來自于出口海外

6）創(chuàng)造10個(gè)本地就業(yè)崗位

7）創(chuàng)造5個(gè)本地就業(yè)崗位，每個(gè)崗位工資不低于2.5萬英鎊

和上面的分析一樣，這樣的變化，大大增加了糊弄簽證官的難度，要求申請者真正經(jīng)營企業(yè)，創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)收，為英國GDP做出貢獻(xiàn)，才能最終拿到綠卡。
