Ancestry visa

An Ancestry visa allows individuals with a qualifying ancestral connection to the UK—such as a grandparents who were British citizens—to live and work there temporarily or permanently. It is designed for those who can demonstrate their familial link and intend to work or settle in the UK. This visa offers a pathway to UK residence, often leading to citizenship, and is popular among Commonwealth citizens with UK heritage seeking to establish roots or explore opportunities in Britain. Requirements include proof of ancestry, financial stability, and the intent to work or study in the UK.
