You are looking to apply for the correct UK visa for you and relocate to the United Kingdom. Choosing the right type of visa is an extensive process. However, there are at least 3 additional considerations as you prepare to relocate to the UK:

1. Tax status

As you prepare to relocate to the UK (the British Isles, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) under Tier 1 Investor visa, you also need to thoroughly consider your newly acquired UK tax status. 

The United Kingdom is a sophisticated and complex tax jurisdiction, which may not be as easy to navigate and requires specialist knowledge.

It is important to obtain crucial professional tax advice before you relocate.

2. Protecting your overseas assets

The UK is a sophisticated tax and legal jurisdiction.

However, it is possible to protect your overseas assets if important steps are taken before you relocate to the British Isles, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Therefore, it is important to ascertain what these specific steps are for you.

3. Structuring your worldwide wealth

As you become a tax resident in the UK, your worldwide assets fall under the UK’s rights to tax your overseas assets.

Therefore, your global wealth needs to be reviewed and structured accordingly. If your assets are structured already, these structures need to be reviewed in accordance with UK tax considerations.
