Maybe it went over your head.. Greece is so poor they offer visas to anyone with money. The Chinese are rich enough.
BTW Wiz if you want some Chinese lessons I'd offer them to you but I don't think you can afford me
Guile, Canada, and the United States have similar systems to those used in Greece and other EU countries. That is, an investment in the country gains the investor right of residence. Are we to infer that the United States and Canada are as poor as Greece, for the same reason as you gave above?
The UK has one too: https://www.gov.uk/innovator-visa
For only 50 thousand quid!

This is NOT a 'golden visa' .
It will NOT get you ( result in ) citizenship like the CY one I refer to in another thread ..

I think it is 500,000 GBP for the UK or 1 million in Property .. not so much for rich Russians to get a UK passport.. every country sells citizenship I think it is about 300,000 for Russia not sure exactly .. cheaper in the Caribbean.. 90K will get you a passport on some islands..

The problem is once they get into the UK it's hard to kick them out so they will risk everything to come.

Many will tell you that even though one is resident in the UK, they could not take their RU wife to the US...until they got the UK passport

Wrong dude. Russians can get a US visa with their Russian passport, why do they need a UK one? Bad advice from our "world traveler" :chuckle:

The wife applies for a visa with all documentation and takes same stuff to the embassy for an interview.. we have been meaning to visit the US now for some time and probably early next year my wife will make a US visa as easy as 1-2-3 ..

Where has your spouse applied - in St-Pet? If yes, how long had she waited for an interview?
We have not got round to doing a US visa for her yet.. keep meaning to as we want to visit .. but just had no time and other things to do.. I think it was in St Petersburg last time we looked and a pretty easy process..
Thus RU sitizens were flying either to Warsaw or to Tbilisi to apply for US visa.
