No developed country supports anything remotely like squatter's rights.


Try the UK: https://www.gov.uk/squatting-law/squatters-rights-to-propert...

I suspect several other European countries have similar rights.


From that site:

"Land Registry will decide if your application is valid and will let the property owner know. The owner has 65 days to object - your application will usually be automatically rejected if they do."

So basically you'll only get to stay if the property is effectively abandoned.


Which is what squatting is...
