The appointment follows Britain’s move to relax its visa requirements for Chinese business executives and tourists, as part of the Government’s efforts to promote Chinese investment in the UK.
Mark Estcourt London & Capital head of immigration said: "The current global economic and political climate has meant that growing numbers of families around the world are viewing the UK as a safe haven, and are looking to move there under such schemes as the Tier 1 investor visa programme.
Tier 1 investor visas, which were introduced in 2008, are specialist visas designed to attract wealthy individuals to the UK, by allowing them to remain in the country on a long-term basis in exchange for making a significant investment in its investment markets.
"L&C had a history of working with such international individuals, having "been working with non-doms for more than 20 years now.
With more of the immigrants than previously coming from China and the Greater Asia region, Lim’s language skills will be put to good purpose", he added.
