Ancestry Visa
Am I Eligible? You may qualify for an Ancestry Visa if:
- You are a Commonwealth citizen
- You are 17 years of age or older
- You have a parent or grandparent who was born in the UK, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. The grandparent can be from either side of your family. You can also apply for an Ancestry Visa if you are adopted or if the parent through whom you are claiming ancestry is adopted
- You intend to take up full time employment
- You are able to take up full time employment
- You are able to ‘support and accommodate yourself, and any dependents, without recourse to State public funds.’ NB: you must apply for a Dependency Visa for any eligible dependant who wishes to accompany you
Who Will Qualify as a Dependant? Your spouse and children under the age of 18. Many visas and permits allow a person to apply for Dependency Visas for dependants to accompany him/her to the UK. In exceptional cases, children over the age of 18 might also be granted entry clearance to accompany a person as dependants. Children of EC nationals qualify for dependency up to 21 years of age and older if they are still dependent.
