If you want to move to the UK the traditional ways are via marriage, ancestry or work in UK.
A UK marriage visa offers settled status with no time or work restrictions on your stay. Those in charge of UK immigration have changed this route recently as well meaning both parties must now be at least 21 before a marriage visa can be issued.
Spouse visas are issued for a two-year period initially, after which the holder can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
The UK Ancestry visa is open to Commonwealth citizens with ancestral ties to the UK. There are no points-based skills assessment like other UK visa routes and upon a successful visa application the holder and heir family have immediate access to the employment market with no restrictions. The visa is granted for a five-year period after which applicants can apply for permanent residence.
Applicants must have a grandparent born in the UK or the Republic of Ireland before March 1922 to be eligible.
Tier 1 General visas and tier 2 Work Permits are other popular ways to move to the UK. For the tier 1 General you will need a minimum of a master's degree and be earning £20,000 minimum or for the tier 2 work permit applicants must have a job offer from a UK based company already in place.
A tier 2 Intra-company transfer is a viable option to move to the UK. This work permit allows employers to bring in overseas workers to the UK to fill a specific role for an agreed amount of time. Find out further information on our Work in UK page.
