What is the UK Ancestry Visa?
The UK Ancestry Visa allows eligible Commonwealth citizens with a UK-born grandparent to live and work in the United Kingdom for up to five years.
This route provides full employment flexibility, including self-employment, and offers a direct pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain after qualifying residence.
Applicants must demonstrate their ancestral connection, intention to work, and financial self-sufficiency in accordance with Home Office requirements.
