Weren't there other restrictions as well? i.e could only stay 90 days at a time etc.

  It is/was several years for “non-Dom” status people. That’s one of the reasons it was seen as such a scam. You’re living there like everyone else yet using this niche status to avoid paying tax.

  To expand on my previous answer, the rules about non-dom were - https://www.bbc.com/news/business-32216346 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-32216346 "If you are a non-dom ... and you choose not to pay tax in the UK on your overseas earnings, you must pay: £30,000 if you've been here for at least seven of the previous nine tax years £60,000 for at least 12 of the previous 14 tax years" Which means that someone like the wife of previous Prime Minister Rishi Sunak could live in the UK, more or less indefinitely, and pay pretty much no income tax for seven years, then a very middle-class-salaried amount of tax where her earnings could actually be in the many millions. And as non-doms are tax resident in the UK, often they are also not taxed in the country where their money is earned. It's a great big tax dodge and the rest of the UK population was pretty sick of it.
