Key facts from GOV.UK

  • The UK Ancestry visa is for Commonwealth citizens with a grandparent born in the UK (or in certain other qualifying places).
  • You must meet other conditions, including being able to work and plan to work in the UK, and being able to support yourself and any dependants without public funds.
  • Check the age and other requirements on the GOV.UK page before you apply.

Summarised from GOV.UK on 27 October 2026. Rules, fees and processes change, so check the official pages listed below before you rely on this.

How SureVisa can help

We can advise you on the relevant requirements, supporting documents and evidence needed, based on your individual circumstances, and explain your options and next steps.

Before you contact us

It helps to have these details to hand when you speak to us:

  • Your current immigration status and when it expires, if you have one.
  • The date of any decision letter, if your application was refused.
  • Who is included in the application (for example a partner or children).

Please do not send passports, identity documents or case documents through this website or in your first message.
