Ancestry visas are a type of family visa that allows British citizens or settled persons in the UK to bring their non-EEA family members to the UK to live permanently. To be eligible for an ancestry visa, the applicant must be able to prove that they are related to a British citizen or settled person in the UK, and that they meet certain other requirements, such as having enough money to support themselves and their family in the UK.
Ancestry visas are an important way for British citizens and settled persons in the UK to maintain close relationships with their family members who live overseas. They also provide a valuable opportunity for non-EEA family members to come to the UK and contribute to the UK economy and society.
