UK Ancestry Visas

The UK Ancestry visa is a route available to Commonwealth citizens who want to move to the UK, alone or with their family. The application has to be made from your home country.

The UK Ancestry visa is specifically for people who want to work in the UK.  You are free to take any employment you like, or to set up your own business, without needing any further permission from the Home Office.

You must be at least 17 years old when you apply for this visa.

You will be eligible to apply for settlement once you have lived in the UK on this visa for five years.

Eligibility

You need to have a grandparent who was born in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.  Birth in the Republic of Ireland is also acceptable, as long as it was before 1922.

This must either be your grandparent by blood, or because of adoption.  The adoption must be one that is recognised as legal in the UK.

Maintenance and accommodation

You will not be eligible for any public funds, and must be able to maintain and accommodate yourself and your family from your own resources.

Has your UK Ancestry Visa been refused?

There is no right of appeal if your visa is refused

If your visa is refused you will not be able to appeal to an independent Immigration Judge.  Instead, the remedy is to apply to the Home Office for what is called an Administrative Review – that is, a review of your application by a different caseworker.
You are not permitted to submit any additional documents with an application for Administrative Review, just arguments as to why the caseworker made a mistake when refusing your application
You can read more about how we can help you if your visa is refused on our Administrative Review page.
