Migration to the United Kingdom

Great Britain (officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is an island state in northwestern Europe, consisting of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The population of the country as of January 1, 2022, is 68,562,151 people, 8,538,689 live in the capital.

Great Britain is located in the temperate-marine climatic zone and is called “foggy Albion” by the weather.

The average temperature in Great Britain is higher than in other places at the same latitude. This is due to the influence of the warm Gulf Stream. The southern part of the country is warmer and drier than the northern part. Northwest winds prevail, blowing from the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Over 50% of cloudy days in a year. Strong winds and floods are possible.

Great Britain is a highly developed post-industrial state. The economy of the Kingdom is the 10th economy in the world in terms of GDP at PPP in 2018.

The leading sector of the country’s economy is the service sector (75% of GDP). The main position in it is occupied by its financial component (27.7% of GDP), which determines the country’s specialization in the system of international economic relations. Britain carries out 10% of world exports of services – banking, insurance, brokerage, advisory, as well as in the field of computer programming.

Medical services in the UK are provided through the National Health System (NHS), which covers almost everything from doctor’s appointments to emergency care. Residents permanently residing in the UK receive free healthcare through the National Health System (NHS). Also, it is possible to take out a private health insurance policy, which allows you to avoid long waiting times for specialists and provides access to better medical equipment.

The education system in the UK is a combination of several levels: preschool (up to 5 years), primary (5-13 years), secondary (13-16/18 years), post-school or vocational (from 16 years) and higher education (from 18 years).

There are two sectors in British education: public (free) and private (paid). According to the law, all UK citizens aged 5 to 18 can study for free, as well as foreigners whose parents have the right to permanent residence in the country.

You can get a residence permit for a period of 2 to 5 years. After 5 years of residence in the country, you can apply for permanent residence. After acquiring the status of permanent residence, you need to live in the UK for a certain time for each category and you can apply for citizenship.
