Summary
A golden visa or PR does not automatically secure a preferred school place.
Short answer: residence usually gives children the right to access local education, but places and school choice still follow admissions rules, language and capacity.
FAQ

No — catchment and admissions rules still apply.
Can we keep a place without living there?
Most public systems expect actual attendance.
Do international schools accept residence visas?
Generally yes if residence is lawful — policies vary.
