There are strong grounds for concern that the UK’s ‘golden visa’ scheme is being used as a tool to launder the proceeds of corruption from around the world. In particular, it is highly likely that substantial amounts of corrupt wealth stolen from China and Russia have been laundered into the UK through the UK’s Tier 1 Investor visa programme. In return for £2m of qualifying investments, a foreign investor can receive a UK golden visa and, after five years, permanent residency in the UK. Our analysis shows that, out of 3,048 golden visas granted by the UK since the scheme began in 2008, 60 per cent have been awarded to Chinese and Russian nationals. At a minimum, a total of £1.15bn of investment flows into the UK can be attributed to Chinese golden visa investors and £729m to Russian nationals. Chinese investors accounted for over half of all golden visas awarded by the UK in 2014. [Da introd.]
