Ancestry Visa - 2nd time??

Post by nic05 » Mon Apr 27, 2015 2:01 am

Hi,

Just new at this so sorry if this is the wrong section!!

Any how I applied and was granted a UK ancestry Visa in 1995 and entered the UK on it that same year however I only stayed about 2 months and didn't end up working as I had enough money saved so I decided just to head off and travel around Europe with the intent on going back after summer. Then due to a sudden death in the family I had to come back to Australia so didn't return back to London and I've not been back to the UK since.

I am now wanting to go back to London and work for a couple of years and am wondering if I am eligible to apply for the Ancestry Visa again? I'm assuming I'm probably not but if any one can give me any clarification on what the status would be I would be very grateful....

Yes. The visa is based on your ancestry and can lead to settlement. That's why it's called an Ancestry visa :D

You can apply for Ancestry visa (or extensions in the UK) as many times as you wish, there is no restriction as long as you meet the requirements.
