The UK Ancestry route enables Commonwealth citizens who have at least one grandparent born in the UK to come to work, study and eventually settle in the UK.

Key features

• Work: UK Ancestry migrants can undertake employment, self-employment and study in the UK.
• Dependants: spouses or partners and/or children may join or remain in the UK with the main UK Ancestry applicant as dependants.
• Settlement: individuals under this route may apply for settlement following five years’ continuous residence in the UK.

With significant experience in UK Ancestry applications, we assist clients with obtaining and organising the required records, paying the correct fees, and managing the entire application process from beginning to end.

Fixed fees
We work on a fixed fee basis. Our fees for individual UK Ancestry applications typically range between £4,500 – £6,500 plus VAT and disbursements depending upon the issues, urgencies and complexities involved.
