The UK government's policy of curbing immigration for skilled and highly skilled non-European Union applicants has had an unlikely fallout. While highly skilled immigrants from India have been hit hard by last year's announcement on the Tier 1 migration programme, which has been closed for most categories of people, the UK government has been rolling out the red carpet for high net worth individuals (HNIs) from India to live and invest in the country.
Under the Tier 1 (investor) category visa, HNIs who have the ability to invest £1 million in the UK, can live in the country and do not need any job offer to apply for immigration. They can apply, along with their families, for settlement at a very early stage.
