Ancestral Visa questions ????? - Leaving SA - 09-01-2008
I am eligable for an ancestral visa.
1. I want to open my own business in London. Am I allowed to?
2. After five years I plan to apply for perm residency, then two years for a passport. So after seven years, will I be a british citizen?

Hi
1) Yes, you can open a business with an ancestral visa
2) Yes, once you have gone through the qualifying period, you can apply for and obtain British citizenship.
I am not sure what business you wish to start, but I would advise you to try gain experience in the field you wish to start up in by working for someone else. Many businessmen have come over here and opened up a business straight away, but then gone through a learning curve that has cost them money.
