UK Ancestry Visa

The UK Ancestry Visa allows Commonwealth citizens and certain other nationals to live and work in the UK if they can prove they have a UK-born grandparent.

To qualify, you must:

  • Be a Commonwealth citizen, British overseas citizen, British national (overseas), or a citizen of Zimbabwe

  • Prove that one of your grandparents was born in the UK, the Channel Islands, or Isle of Man

  • Meet other eligibility criteria, including age, financial means, and intention to work in the UK

This visa is typically granted for 5 years and may lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and eventually British Citizenship.

RNW Solicitors can help you gather the right documentation, ensure eligibility, and prepare a strong application.
