Ex-Pat & Foreign Nationals

Applicants must have a min income of £35,000 GBP equivalent & reside in countries with a BASEL risk score of 6.0 or less and are not on the HMT High Risk Third Country List (see detailed ex-pat & foreign national criteria below).

Please note that applications from foreign national applicants may be declined where, in our reasonable opinion, there exists a significantly elevated risk of war or conflict associated with the applicant’s country of residence. QML reserves the right to assess such risks on a case-by-case basis as part of our underwriting procedures.
