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.
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.
