Ancestry Visa UK
The UK Ancestry Visa allows Commonwealth citizens to relocate to the UK for the purpose of living and working, based on their ancestral connections to the country. To be eligible for this visa, applicants must have at least one grandparent who was born in the UK, Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. Alternatively, having a grandparent born in the Republic of Ireland before March 1922 also qualifies for this visa. It is important to note that the qualifying grandparent can be either alive or deceased.
Moreover, if the applicant or either of their parents was adopted by a UK citizen and they can provide valid proof of their adoption, they too are eligible for the UK Ancestry Visa.
