Digital nomad guide to United Kingdom

Best for: Long visitor stays in London, Edinburgh, or Manchester between EU resets.

The UK is generous on visit length — 6 months at a stretch for most western passports — but punitive on the line between visiting and living. HMRC's Statutory Residence Test is the rule that bites first; spend more than 90 days with multiple ties and you're tax-resident whether you want to be or not. Use the UK as a long visitor stop or a Schengen reset, not a base, unless you commit to the Innovator Founder or Skilled Worker route.
