Immigrant Investor Program UK - Business Immigration to UK

The application process

The below timeline and step-by-step process are based on the legalities that need to be followed for Tier 1 Investor category in United Kingdom, based on an applicant opting for the financed option for investment. Arton Capital has outlined the below timeline by combining current timelines of local government institutions as well as the actual process our clients have experienced.

The procedure can be broken down to 9 basic steps that the main applicant will have to go through. Some of them require his/her involvement; others are performed by Arton Capital, the consultant or the financing bank. All of the steps are dependent on the successful completion of the previous step.

The process and the estimated duration of each step are outlined below:

PHASE I – FINANCING
Month 1-2 Step 1 Client must present documents proving current assets minimum of £2,000,000
Step 2 Arton Capital will prepare a Financial Intelligence  Declaration℠  for the bank to assess and complete due diligence
Month 2-3 Step 3 Once bank is satisfied Client will be issued pre approval letter by Arton Capital and asked to pay fees
Step 4 On receipt of funds client will be asked to sign all application forms relating to the bank, bank account opening and the financing requirements
Step 5 Upon opening of Bank Account client will be notified and asked to send investment
Upon receipt of the funds the bank will issue a letter confirming the verification of the applicants asset worth allowing the applicant to proceed to Phase II
