While the Govt. is lengthening the period before immigrants can gain indefinite leave to remain, it's also about to offer an 'invite only' programme by which leave to remain can be gained after only three years (two years less than current arrangements that stand, for now, at five years).

How do you get invited to go down that route? You need to invest a minimum of £5m in the UK (in a way acceptable to the Govt.).

Just to be clear:
we are selling UK residency rights to the rich.

Interesting isn't it.
I'd think that inviting some nice useful people to come and quickly be us would be a sensible thing to do. And I'm sure there is an overlap between having £5M to invest with the reasonable expectation of a profit; and being nice and useful.
But I think I'd like some of the ones that have all that except the £5M to be sped in as well.
