Hello,
My wife is from New Zealand. She has been living, working and paying tax in the UK for the last 3 and a half years. She still does not have permanent residency but is on a spousal visa. Would she be eligible to open a LISA?
Thanks in advance

Who can open a Lifetime ISA
Investors must be resident in the UK and age 18 or over, but under 40 when they apply to open and make their first payment into a Lifetime ISA.
My understanding of the term 'resident' here is that it relates to living at a permanent UK address rather than actually relating to immigration status, but paying UK tax is also a plus.0 -
Tax rules have never been linked to immigration status or nationality.
Only exception is non-dom status.
