Suella Braverman issues ministerial statement after long-awaited review of tier 1 (investor) visa scheme
Ten Russia-backed individuals who have been sanctioned after the invasion of Ukraine used a “golden visa” route for the super rich to move to the UK, Suella Braverman has disclosed today.
The home secretary said “a minority” of more than 6,000 individuals who used the tier 1 (investor) visa route were potentially at high risk of having obtained wealth through corruption, illegality or organised crime – and that many are still under investigation by the police.
