Chinese Citizens Who Wish To Leave Country Have Options

August 1, 2013 / usifredo


Wealthy Chinese who want to leave their homeland are seeing a rise in competition among other countries to attract them and their families. While many cash strapped countries have lowered their requirements for visas and citizenship in efforts to draw Chinese immigrants to their shores, the U.S. remains one of the most alluring and safest choices.

Investor immigration programs are technically open to all nationalities, but the focus on Chinese investors has seen a substantial rise over the past decade as more and more Chinese search for ways to stabilize their future.

Countries new to the investment for visa programs include several Caribbean states who are looking to boost their economies. The island nations of St. Kitts and Nevis and Antigua and Barbuda are struggling in a region wrecked by large amounts of public debt and slow, low growth. According to the IMF, the Caribbean’s 2013 growth is only at 1.25%. St Kitts, with a population of 53,000 will grant citizenship to individuals who spend $400,000 on real estate or donate $250,000 to the country’s Sugar Industry Diversification Fund. Neighboring Antigua and Barbuda will launch its own program soon.

Southern Europe is also upping bids to attract Chinese and other investors. Greece, Portugal and Cyprus are battling for the most attractive offers, offering “golden visas” and real estate opportunities.

While the smaller, less wealthy countries battle for attention, the US continues to see a continually growing flow of Chinese investors who are participating in the EB-5 Immigration program, which swaps visas for a $500,000 to $1 Million investment. In the fiscal year ending September 2012, 80% of the 7,641 applicants were Chinese.

The EB-5 immigrant investor program continues to garner attention by US and other international news sources. It has received attention for its community-enhancing results as well as its bountiful opportunities presented to investors and their families.


对于想要移民的中国富裕人士来说,现在全球范围内可选移民国家越来越多,海外其他国家纷纷出台各种移民政策吸引投资。很多资金短缺国家纷纷降低签证移民标准,出台优惠移民政策来吸引大批涌现的中国移民。美国就是其中一个最具吸引力和安全的选择。

美国投资移民计划是面向全球所有国家开放的,但主要是以中国人申请美国投资移民为主。尤其是在最近几年,越来越多的中国人看好美国移民,市场需求和增长最为迅猛。

新推出优惠移民政策的国家也包括了加勒比海岸的几个国家,以促进经济发展。如圣基茨岛、尼维斯、安提瓜及巴布达等目前正面临大量公债困扰和缓慢的经济增长。据国际货币基金组织(IMF)的数据显示,加勒比地区2013年经济增长仅为1.25%。总人口5.3万的圣基茨岛就推出了优惠移民政策。只要投资购买当地价值40万美元房产或捐赠25万给国家糖业多元基金,就可移民圣基茨岛。而其邻国安提瓜和巴布达也将很快出台移民计划。

南欧国家也纷纷加快速度吸引中国移民和投资者。希腊、葡萄牙及塞浦路斯等就各自移民政策竞争火热,提供“黄金签证”和投资买房移民机会。

除了小国和面临经济困境的国家加大马力吸引海外移民外,北美国家则持续受到中国投资者和移民广泛关注,增长迅速。美国的EB-5投资移民计划只需投资50万美金至100万美金即可获得美国绿卡。截止到2012年九月份(按财年算),去年共7641个投资人中就有80%来自中国。

EB-5投资移民签证计划将持续受到广泛关注。它既能有效促进美国当地经济发展,同时也为海外投资人和家人带来更多投资机遇。
