The UK is exploring a new “invite-only” investor visa that would offer eligible wealthy applicants three years of residency. Under the proposal reported by Bloomberg, the scheme is aimed at individuals who invest at least £5 million in the UK. The government is considering how to structure access to the visa, including whether it should be restricted to invited applicants rather than open to all applicants meeting the investment threshold.
The proposal is presented as part of the UK’s efforts to improve its competitiveness and global appeal for international capital. Bloomberg’s reporting describes the minimum investment requirement as £5 million (about $6.7 million) and frames the initiative as a potential tool to attract high-value investment.
As the plan is still under consideration, details such as eligibility rules, the types of qualifying investments, application processes, and timing for any rollout are not finalized in the reports. No confirmation is provided on whether the proposal will be adopted or what changes may occur before any implementation.
