UK has Tier 1 - Entrepreneur Visa where you can remain and run a company for 5 years. After 5 years, you can apply for extension for another 5 years or apply for settlement. You are judged based on your talent and not on where you were born.

"Tier 1 (General) visa 1. Overview

You can no longer apply for or extend Tier 1 (General) visas."

As far as I remember, this type of visa is abolished many years ago.

"Tier 1 (General)" was abolished. Instead, UK has introduced "Tier 1 - Entrepreneur" and "Tier 1 - Exceptional Talent" visas.

Well, it's better than nothing. But I think that 99.99% of the current UK cirtizens would never meet these requirements.
