Introduction
With 50万人民币, you can invest and obtain residency or citizenship in several countries. The process for immigration can be complex and varies depending on the country. Among the countries where you can acquire residency are English-speaking countries such as Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. This article will provide an overview of the options to acquire residency or citizenship through investment, as well as the conditions and requirements for each of them.
Canada
Canada is one of the most popular options for immigration through investment. The government of Canada offers several immigration programs that allow investors to acquire residency or citizenship. The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) is designed to attract high net-worth individuals to invest in the province of Quebec. The investment threshold for the QIIP is 1.2 million Canadian dollars (approximately 6 million RMB), with an additional security deposit of CAD 300,000 (approximately 1.5 million RMB) paid to the government. The program requires applicants to have a net worth of at least CAD 2 million (approximately 10 million RMB) and two years of management experience.
Australia
Australia has one of the most attractive residency programs for investors. The Australian government offers the Significant Investor Visa (SIV) program, which grants residency to investors who invest at least 5 million AUD (approximately 25 million RMB) in approved investment vehicles. Investors must also meet the eligibility criteria for the program that includes being nominated by a state or territory government in Australia.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom’s Tier 1 (Investor) Visa program allows high net-worth individuals to invest and obtain residency. Applicants must invest at least 2 million pounds (approximately 18 million RMB) in the UK economy. The program requires applicants to have a bank account with a UK regulated financial institution and pass an English language test.
United States
While the United States does offer an EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which allows investors to obtain a Green Card by investing at least $900,000 (approximately 5.8 million RMB) in a US business, it is worth noting that the program has been temporarily suspended until June 30, 2021. The suspension is expected to allow the US government to reform the program and strengthen its integrity.
Other options
Other countries where you can obtain residency or citizenship through investment include New Zealand, Singapore, Portugal, and Malta. New Zealand’s Investor Visa requires investors to demonstrate business experience and invest at least NZD 10 million (approximately 48.7 million RMB) over a 3-year period.
