Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Windrush Scheme?

The Windrush Scheme helps Commonwealth citizens (and certain others) who settled in the UK before 1973, and some of their descendants, to confirm their status or obtain documentation free of charge. We guide you through eligibility and evidence.

Who qualifies for a UK Ancestry visa?

Commonwealth citizens aged 17 or over with a grandparent born in the UK (or in certain other qualifying places) may apply, provided they intend and are able to work. We confirm eligibility and prepare the application.

What is the right of abode?

The right of abode means you are free from UK immigration control and can live and work here without restriction. We help certify it, usually through a Certificate of Entitlement.
