UK Ancestry

The UK Ancestry visa may be available to eligible applicants who can prove that one of their grandparents was born in the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or another qualifying circumstance recognised by the rules.

This route can allow a person to live and work in the UK for 5 years and may lead to indefinite leave to remain if the requirements are met.

Family History & Evidence

Proving Grandparent Heritage

The strength of a UK Ancestry application often depends on the family document chain. Birth, marriage, adoption and name-change documents may be needed.

  • Applicant birth certificate
  • Parent birth certificate
  • Grandparent birth certificate
  • Marriage or adoption documents where relevant
  • Work and financial evidence

We can review the ancestry document chain, identify missing documents, prepare the application and advise on dependants and future settlement planning.
