The UK's Statutory Residence Test runs on day thresholds and ties rather than a single line, automatic residence lands at 183 days but sufficient ties can catch a returning resident from as few as 16. The FIG regime, replacing non-dom status since April 2025, gives new arrivals a 4-year exemption on foreign income and gains, while the Standard Visitor route covers incidental remote work for up to 6 months.
