Do I have to live in the UK to make an FOI request?
The UK’s Freedom of Information laws do not require the requester to live in, or be a citizen of, the UK. Anyone living anywhere in the world can make a FOI request to public authorities in the UK. This isn’t the same in some other countries.
UK doesnt have FOIA. FOIA is an American law.
UK has their own FOIA.
