你想移民印度嗎? 只要投資150萬美元就行了!
Want to live in India? You can, if you're willing to invest $1.5 million.
想住在印度？只要你願意投資150萬美元就行了。The Indian government is launching a new program that rewards foreigners with a 10-year residency permit if they invest $1.5 million in the country over an 18-month period.
印度政府正在出臺一項新計劃，外國人只要在18個月內投資150萬美元，就能在印度居留10年。Investors are also required to generate a minimum of 20 jobs for Indian residents per financial year.
政府還要求投資者在每個財年都能爲印度創造至少20個就業崗位。
In return, investors will receive a multiple entry visa and the right to purchase a property. Family members will be able to work and study in India for the duration of the visa, which can be extended by another 10 years.
作爲回報，這些外國投資者將取得多次入境簽證，並獲准在印度購買一套房子，在簽證有效期內，其配偶和子女也可在印度工作或求學。居留權還可進一步延長至20年。
Roughly 20 countries currently offer immigrant investor schemes. They include the United States, select countries in Europe and a smattering of island nations in the Caribbean.
現在全球大約有20個國家允許投資移民，其中包括美國、歐洲的一些國家和加勒比海的一些島國。The required investments range from $500,000 to several million dollars, and some countries offer citizenship rather than a residential permit.
這些國家的投資額度要求從50萬到幾百萬美元不等。部分國家甚至可直接獲得公民權而不是居留許可。In India, the program could attract foreign entrepreneurs who are eager to do business in the world's fastest growing major economy.
而在印度，這個新計劃能吸引那些希望在全球發展最快的經濟體做生意的外商。Under the current rules, foreigners are often caught in tangle of bureaucracy that requires them to frequently switch visas, exit the country for prescribed amounts of time and complete reams of paperwork.
在現行制度下，外國人經常被繁瑣公文所困擾，比如要求他們頻繁更換籤證，在限定的時間內離開，以及填寫大量的文件。Still, the relatively high investment of $1.5 million could deter businesspeople in all but a few select professions.
然而，這個相對較高的150萬美元投資要求可能會將投資者侷限在某些行業內。For comparison, the U.S. EB-5 immigration program hands out green cards to foreigners who invest just $500,000 and create 10 jobs.
相對之下，美國的EB-5移民計劃要求，只要投資達到50萬美元並創造10個就業機會，就可以發放綠卡。St. Kitts And Nevis in the Caribbean mandates only a $400,000 investment in real estate, or $250,000 in its sugar industry.
加勒比海島國聖基茨和尼維斯則是隻要投資至少40萬美元於該國房地產，或者投資25萬美元其製糖業即可。
