Britain's former investor visa is currently closed to new applicants. There is no route available for wealthy families to submit applications today.
Ahead of the October 28 Budget, Chancellor John Healey is considering a residency route for wealthy foreigners.
This proposal is part of efforts to attract investment. However, the government has not yet decided whether to adopt it.
Advisers and prospective applicants may show interest in this proposal before the government makes a decision.
No published Home Office rules establishing this proposed route were found in official guidance checked on October 18, 2026.
The distinction between a proposal and an established route has financial consequences. The government's decision on this matter is pending.
