Does buying property grant permanent residency in the UK?

Step-by-step guide to applying for a UK passport, ensuring a smooth and efficient process

Purchasing a property in the UK does not grant permanent residence

Buying property in the United Kingdom does not grant permanent residency, as some individuals have misconceptions about the various ways to reside in the UK, unlike many programs such as the Golden Visa program in Greece, the permanent residency program in Cyprus, and the Golden Visa program in Spain.

Based on the above, those interested in obtaining residency in the United Kingdom can benefit from the UK Residency Program by opening a branch of the parent company in the UK. However, this program does not grant permanent residency but rather provides a temporary stay with the possibility of renewal, and citizenship can be obtained if the applicant meets certain conditions.
