India has been ranked as the seventh nationality of the super-rich to have availed of UK's golden visa since the route opened in 2008, a report by a UK-based anti-corruption watchdog said.
In an email shared with Indian Star, Spotlight on Corruption said that "a total of 254 millionaires from India used the Tier 1 (Investor) Visa to settle down in the UK via large investment into the country”.
