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?只要你愿意投資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.

　　印度政府出臺(tái)了一項(xiàng)新計(jì)劃，外國人只要在18個(gè)月內(nèi)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(gè)財(cái)年都能為印度創(chuàng)造至少20個(gè)就業(yè)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.

　　作為回報(bào)，這些外國投資者將取得多次入境簽證，并獲準(zhǔn)在印度購買一套房子，在簽證有效期內(nèi)，其配偶和子女也可在印度工作或求學(xué)。居留權(quán)還可進(jìn)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(xiàn)在全球大約有20個(gè)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.

　　投資額度要求從50萬到幾百萬美元不等。部分國家可直接獲得公民權(quán)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(gè)新計(jì)劃能吸引那些希望在全球發(fā)展最快的經(jīng)濟(jì)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(xiàn)行制度下，外國人經(jīng)常被繁瑣公文所困擾，比如要求他們頻繁更換簽證，在限定的時(shí)間內(nèi)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(gè)相對較高的150萬美元投資要求可能會(huì)將投資者局限在某些行業(yè)內(nèi)。

　　For comparison, the U.S. EB-5 immigration program hands out green cards to foreigners who invest just $500,000 and create 10 jobs. St. Kitts & Nevis in the Caribbean mandates only a $400,000 investment in real estate, or $250,000 in its sugar industry.

　　相對之下，美國的EB-5移民計(jì)劃要求，只要投資達(dá)到50萬美元并創(chuàng)造10個(gè)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，就可以發(fā)放綠卡;加勒比海島國圣基茨和尼維斯則是只要投資至少40萬美元于該國房地產(chǎn)?；蛘?5萬美元于其制糖業(yè)即可。
