What Is The UK Ancestry Visa?

If you can prove that one of your grandparents was born in the United Kingdom and you are a citizen of a Commonwealth nation, you may be eligible for an Ancestry Visa UK. The duration of the visa is five years. Being able to live, work, and attend school in the UK is now a reality. After five years, you can request either a status renewal or a move to “settled.”

There is no need for a work offer in the UK to apply for an Ancestry Visa. For those already on the road, it clears the way considerably. You must show you can cover your costs, as this visa does not allow you to receive public money.

If you want to apply as a relative of a British citizen, you’ll have to prove their citizenship in considerable detail. Those grandparents who have spent a lengthy period abroad from the UK may find it challenging to locate them.

In what ways does an Ancestry visa allow you to remain outside the UK?

Proving continuous five-year residence in the UK is a requirement for immigration law residency (ILR). There has been no year in the last five when you have spent more than 180 days away from the UK. Applicants should also have a strong desire to work in the UK. Excessive travel outside of the UK could hurt your visa application since it shows that this is not your primary goal.

Extension of the UK Ancestry Visa

To remain in the UK for longer than the original 5 years, you may renew or extend your ancestry visa online before your current leave expires. It is possible to renew or extend a UK family visa for those who have resided in the UK continuously for 5 years but do not want to or cannot apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain. A pending criminal conviction may be the reason for this.
 Before your Ancestry visa expires, you must request an extension. If other dependent family members are applying simultaneously, you may also add them.
According to the laws, you can renew your Ancestry visa in the UK an unlimited number of times provided you continue to meet the conditions.
In addition to the additional expense of NHS healthcare, extending your Ancestry visa costs £1,048.
