UK Ancestry Visa
About UK Ancestry Visa
The UK Ancestry visa is available to Commonwealth citizens who have a grandparent born in the UK and who intend to work here. It is a flexible route that allows employed or self-employed work and leads, in time, to settlement. The application turns on documentary proof of the family link, the applicant's intentions in the UK and the ability to support themselves. RakLAW gathers the birth and marriage records needed to evidence ancestry and presents a clean, well-documented application.
Who this is for
