: Written by: Arshad Mahmood; Last Updated: 20 April 2026

The UK Ancestry visa route is for a Commonwealth citizen aged 17 or over who wants to live and work in the UK and who has a grandparent who was born in the UK or the Islands. A dependent partner and dependent children of a UK Ancestry migrant can also apply under this route to stay in the UK with the UK Ancestry migrant. An application for a UK Ancestry visa is made in accordance with the requirements set out in Appendix UK Ancestry of the Immigration Rules. It is not possible to switch into the UK Ancestry visa route from inside the UK, and an initial application should always be made from outside the UK.

The UK Ancestry visa is a settlement visa route, and the UK Ancestry migrant becomes eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain 28 days before completing 5 years in the UK.
