in p>21, it can be said that the investment and immigration policies of various countries changed suddenly. Investment immigration projects in traditional immigrant countries such as Canada, Australia and Singapore have increased in price. Faced with such a large-scale policy mutation, what should China applicants do in 211? What choices do applicants have for the urgent situation of investment immigration at present? What can applicants do when the New Deal has not been implemented?
Australia cancelled some immigrant categories and increased the net assets of prospective immigrant families, while Canada directly doubled the financial threshold for applying for investment immigrants from 4, Canadian dollars to 8, Canadian dollars. Singapore also increased the amount of investment immigrants from 1.5 million Singapore dollars to 2.5 million Singapore dollars from January 1, 211, and Hong Kong also raised the settlement threshold to more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and cancelled the real estate investment category. The big moves of these four popular immigrant countries have caused great waves in this year's immigration market, and many people who are inclined to invest in immigration are even a little puzzled. Comparatively speaking, although the US EB-5 investment immigration threshold of $5, is still two years away, the US investment immigration projects are all commercial projects, which are risky and very eye-catching. Therefore, according to the changes of the new immigration policy, it is very important to reorganize the investment immigration plan in 211.
Australia: Three major changes have accelerated the application
Australian immigrants are mainly divided into business owners, senior managers, 165 investment categories and business geniuses.
Australia is the first country with policy changes among popular immigrant countries. The changes in the new Australian investment immigration policy are mainly reflected in the following three aspects: First, the 163B corporate executive category has been cancelled; Second, the net assets of families rose from A $25, to A $5,; The third is to increase the proportion of shares of applicants. If the company's annual turnover is 3,-4, Australian dollars, it is required to own 51% of the shares; If the turnover exceeds 4, Australian dollars, the shares must reach 3%; If the company is a listed company, the applicant's shares must reach 1%.
advantages of Australian investment immigrants
Australian investment immigrants don't have to give up their domestic business and live in Australia. The main applicant doesn't have to give up their domestic business or even go to Australia. After the spouse has lived in Australia for one year in two years, the whole family can get a green card.
residence period of investment immigrants in Australia
Applicants must legally reside in Australia for 4 years. In these four years, at least one of them must live in Australia as a permanent resident; In the four years before applying for naturalization, the cumulative time of not living in Australia shall not exceed 12 months. In other words, you must have lived for three years in four years. At the same time, in one of the four years, you must live in Australia for at least nine months, that is, the cumulative time to leave Australia must not exceed three months.
comments of experts on Aoye immigration: At present, about 2%-25% of existing applicants do not meet the requirements of the New Deal, which means that the number of applicants may be reduced by about 2%. Now the New Deal should be said that there are worries and dangers. For more people who are not affected by the New Deal, the new adjustment may be a good thing, which will speed up the immigration application. But now we can only say that the international economic situation is picking up, and the requirements for Australian business immigrants may be higher in the future, so we should seize the opportunity. With the increase of immigration threshold in Australia, the processing speed of visa officers will be faster, and the processing speed of immigration cases is expected to be shortened from one and a half years to 12 months. Secondly, Australia's average visa success rate is expected to increase significantly, and it will become relatively easy to "turn to permanent residence".
the United States: the threshold remains the same.
American investment immigrants: the fastest way to get a green card is to immigrate to the United States with a family of 5, dollars.
Generally speaking, American immigrants include: F-dependent families, such as parents, brothers and sisters, which are characterized by a long processing cycle and an application cycle of more than 1 years; Class d-such as adoption, asylum, etc.; EB class, which includes EB-1 outstanding class; EB-2 professional category; EB-3 technicians; EB-4 special immigrants; EB-5 investors. The EB-5 main applicants for American investment immigrants only need to be at least 21 years old, and have no restrictions on academic qualifications, English proficiency and management experience, but they are required to reasonably explain the source of the $5, invested in the United States, which can be the income from business operations, stock trading, lottery tickets, gifts or inheritance. After three months of immigration, the lawyer will help the applicant to lift the conditions. Whether the conditions can be lifted depends on whether the investor meets two requirements: whether the investment funds are still in operation; And whether it meets the requirements of 1 jobs. After the application is passed, you can get a two-year conditional green card, usually before the green card expires.
Advantages of American investment immigration
The American green card has no "immigration supervisor". After getting the green card, the applicant's family can continue to live in China or live in any city in the United States. China's social welfare will not be affected, but it can also enjoy many benefits of the American green card. Moreover, the United States still maintains the threshold of $5, investment until 212, which is more advantageous when many popular immigrant countries raise the threshold one after another.
immigration residence period
according to the immigration law of the United States, a green card resident who applies for citizenship must stay in the United States for at least two and a half years and at least six months each year before the application for naturalization is filed. If you leave the United States for more than six months in a year, the remaining months will not be counted as the two-and-a-half-year residence time. If you leave the United States for more than one year, the calculation of residence time will be interrupted.
comments from experts of Aoye Immigrants: For American immigrant investors, since the investment projects of 5, US dollars are all commercial projects, unlike Canada, there is no government guarantee, so the safety of the projects is the most important. This is reflected in whether the conditional green card can be lifted after 2 years; And whether you can get the principal back after five years. Therefore, friends who intend to invest and immigrate to the United States should pay attention to choosing high-security projects, whether there is local government participation, whether the bank loan is smooth and how the project starts, which are all worthy of important research and consideration.
Canada: investment is guaranteed by raising the threshold
Canadian investment immigrants are mainly divided into Quebec investment immigrants and federal investment immigrants.
Immigration Canada announced on June 25th this year that the amount of federal investment for immigrants has doubled from 4, Canadian dollars to 8, Canadian dollars, and the applicant's asset requirements have also doubled from 8, Canadian dollars to 1.6 million Canadian dollars. In making the announcement, the Immigration Department said that it had already reached an understanding with Quebec on the requirements for increasing the investment amount and assets accordingly, but Quebec announced the freezing application more than three months later than the federal government.
Advantages of Canadian investment immigrants
Although the threshold has been raised, the advantages of Canadian investment immigrants have not changed, that is, the government guarantees the return of investment immigrants after 5 years; The other is that investors borrow money from banks designated by the Canadian government to invest, and there is no capital security problem in this investment method. The security of funds is guaranteed by the government. There are two ways: one is to invest in the immigration fund recognized by the Canadian government, and
the residence period of Canadian investment immigrants
they can keep their permanent resident status for two years (73 days) every five years from the issuance of the Maple Leaf Card, and they can apply for naturalization for three years (1,95 days) in the past four years. After naturalization, he becomes a Canadian citizen and is no longer subject to the residence restrictions of the immigration supervisor.
Aoye Immigration Expert Comments: Applicants who meet the requirements of the New Deal for Investment Immigration may consider submitting their applications after the implementation of the New Deal. At present, the influx of a large number of applications in a short period of time will inevitably lead to a serious backlog of cases in Quebec Immigration Bureau, and at the same time, the immigration bureau will tighten the auditing standards, which will affect the application time and pass rate. Applicants should be psychologically prepared and adjust their mentality. When the new investment immigration policy will be implemented and the federal and Quebec investment immigrants will suspend their applications, it is also a wise choice to choose other commercial immigration projects in Canada, such as the Canadian province nomination (commercial) immigration plan, considering the success rate, application time and immigration cost.
Singapore: Immigration requirements are stricter. Applications need to be advanced.
Singapore's investment immigrants are raised to S $2.5 million.
As Australia and Canada have successively raised the threshold for business investment immigration, investment immigrants in Singapore, a popular country popular with immigrants, will have stricter requirements for applicants. According to the new standard issued by official website of Singapore Economic Development Bureau, the amount of investment immigrants in Singapore will be increased from the original 1.5 million Singapore dollars to 2.5 million Singapore dollars from January 1, 211. For immigrant applicants with entrepreneurial and business experience, the company's main turnover in the previous year changed from at least 1 million Singapore dollars to at least 3 million Singapore dollars; The average amount of the company's main business in recent three years has changed from at least 1 million Singapore dollars to at least 3 million Singapore dollars.
advantages of investment immigration in Singapore
although the immigration threshold has been raised, corporate income tax and personal income tax are very attractive to the rich because of the very low tax rate in Singapore. There is no inheritance tax, and citizens and green card holders are exempt from taxes on their income outside Singapore, which is the most important place for many businessmen. In addition, Singapore is a Chinese society, with no language barriers, no academic qualifications and residence requirements for applicants, and no residence requirements for immigrants.
Aoye's comments on immigration experts: Although Singapore's immigration policy has undergone great changes, investors who intend to apply for investment immigration in Singapore but have not yet raised investment funds can rest assured that the Singapore Economic Development Board usually takes the policy standards at the time of receiving formal immigration applications as the standard. Therefore, it is still some time before the implementation of the New Deal, and applicants who are applying for Singapore immigration will not be affected. For investors who can complete the application this year, the investment is still based on S $1.5 million. Therefore, once again remind friends who intend to apply for investment immigration in Singapore not to miss the opportunity and seize the time to apply for immigration.
Hong Kong: Investment immigrants are highly flexible and attractive.
The Hong Kong government announced on October 13th, 21 that the entry plan for capital investors (the plan) will be revised as follows from October 14th, 21 (the effective date):
(1) The investment threshold (and net assets or net capital requirements) for applying to come to Hong Kong under the plan will be increased from 6.5 million yuan to 1, yuan.
(2) Real estate is temporarily listed as the permitted investment asset category under the plan.
In addition, from the effective date, insurers licensed to carry on the business of Class C referred to in Part 2 of Schedule 1 under the Insurance Companies Ordinance are allowed to act as financial intermediaries under the Scheme.
A government spokesman said: The purpose of revising the scheme is to ensure that the scheme keeps pace with the times and continues to bring the best overall benefits to Hong Kong. In the course of the review, the Government has made reference to similar overseas projects, relevant economic indicators and the views of the public and Legislative Council members.
compared with similar overseas plans, the revised plan is still competitive. The investment threshold (and net assets or net capital requirements) will be reviewed every three years. The arrangement of suspending the classification of real estate as an allowed investment asset will be reviewed periodically next time, or considered at an earlier time if necessary.
What are the conditions for investment and immigration to Hong Kong?
According to the entry plan for capital investors promulgated by the Hong Kong government, to apply for investment and immigration to Hong Kong, three basic conditions must be met:
First, the applicant is at least 18 years old, has financial ability and has no bad record before and after the application;
2. Having a net asset of not less than HK$ 1 million in the two years prior to the application (whereas the application submitted before October 14, 21 only needs HK$ 6.5 million);
third, invest at least HK$ 1 million in Hong Kong, which can only be invested in financial assets (applications submitted before October 14, 21 can also be invested in real estate). This is the most important condition for investing in Hong Kong.
The amount of investment immigrants in Hong Kong
requires applicants to invest at least 1 million Hong Kong dollars (about 8.5 million RMB), and the investment funds will be continuously used to invest in Hong Kong stocks, funds, bonds, insurance or certificates of deposit of 1 million Hong Kong dollars within 7 years. Every time an investment project is changed, a report must be submitted to the Hong Kong Immigration Department, and the period for each investment project change shall not exceed 7 days. The investment cost is equivalent to the price of two two-bedroom apartments in Beijing's Third Ring Road.
Advantages of Hong Kong Investment Immigration Project
The investment immigration mode in Hong Kong is the most special. The required investment expenses are completely controlled by the applicant, who can choose the investment fields within the prescribed scope and make continuous investment within the prescribed period of time to obtain Hong Kong status. Compared with other hot immigrant countries and regions, Hong Kong's investment immigrants have a very high degree of flexibility in mastering funds. The funds are entirely controlled by the applicants, and they choose their own investment direction. The profits from investment are also owned by the applicants, and the space for creating profits is also the largest. If the investment is proper, the return space is very considerable.
expert comments on Aoye's immigration: Applicants can independently master the investment projects within the scope set by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, and the degree of risk depends on the investment projects selected by the applicants. Among them, investing in Hong Kong stocks is a financial investment project with high risk value and the most significant benefit. If you are not familiar with the operation of Hong Kong stocks, it is recommended to choose the top domestic investment and wealth management companies to invest for you within seven years of application, so as to get rich returns.
