Unlike other categories of visa, individuals applying for an investor visa do not need to meet an English language requirement, and are able to bring their spouse and dependents to the UK to work or study. Direct investment in UK businesses creates thousands of new jobs every year. However, an inquiry by the Migration Advisory Committee, which counsels the Government, found that most using the investor visa route bought gilts that Britain did not need when the Treasury is selling £300 million of gilts every day to fund the deficit. Sir David Metcalf, chairman of the committee, said that wealthy investors sometimes held the gilts for five years and then sold them. This effectively amounted to making a loan to gain indefinite leave to stay in the country. Chinese investors now make up the largest group of all successful applications, accounting for 32% of all investor visas issued this year. Investors from the USA received 12% of all visas issued.
