Abstract
In this chapter, we provide a critical appraisal of the presumed correlation between investment migration and foreign direct investment. Could it be that investment migration is not as effective a form of FDI as has been presented to us? The devil is in the detail, as is always the case. However, it is clear, if we read between the lines in the official statements made about them, that many such programmes are not well designed to attract FDI - the British Tier 1 (Investor) visa could be an example.
