The Bell: Abramovich did not extend the British visa

The authorities of Britain did not extend the oligarch to Roman Abramovich an investor visa, reports The Bell with reference to the acquaintance of Abramovich and two sources in his environment.

According to two sources, the old businessman’s old visa ended about three weeks ago, and he did not receive a new one. According to another interlocutor of the publication, there was no official refusal to issue a visa - Abramovich’s application is still being considered.

On Saturday, Abramovich was not present at the final match of the England Cup in football, on which the Chelsea club, which is owned by the businessman, won the Manchester United.

The last time the personal plane of the oligarch Boeing 767 landed in London on April 1.

A candidate for receiving a British investment visa must invest at least £ 2 million in the country's economy (about $ 2.69 million). The visa is issued for 3 years 4 months, after which it can be extended. Five years after receiving a visa, its owner may ask for a residence permit. In 2016, Abramovich filed such a petition, but in the future he withdrew him.

On March 28, Britain Minister Enver Radd promised to revise 700 investor visas, which in 2008-2015 were issued to wealthy Russians. Whether Abramovich fell under the audit is unknown.
