Read about it on www.workingintheuk.gov.uk and maybe the British High Commission in the Bahamas website.Lennon_utt wrote:Well actually i would like to move to Germny bbut i have also been considering England alot and would like to know if there is an easier way for a bahamian citizen to move to England
Ok i found way and it is called the Working HolidayMaker visa. any thing stringent i shoudl know about this cuz i fall right in line with it
Thanks,

The WHM visa counts towards the 10 (ten) year long residency category (you must have had ten years of legal and continuous stay in the UK) or the 14 years long residency (a mixture of legal and non-legal and continuous stay in the UK). Do a search on the 10 years LRC to find out what 'continuous' means. It can also help you get citizenship faster IF/ONCE you marry a British citizen, as the residency requirement would have been (almost!) met.Lennon_utt wrote:Hmm yes thanks man but i already ran across this site while i was searching. i found out tho that our high comission place is actually in jamacia. i am thinking that the UK is my place to go now tho. i could get a job doing any thing. but does any one know if that will count towards permenant residency? and what could i apply for after the two years? nd also could i go to other EU countries? im still researching this but any help is appreciated
Thanks

Have you looked into Irish ancestry? Who in your heritage is Irish (in your diret line...e.g. parents, grandparents, etc)?Lennon_utt wrote:Ok well here are my stats
I am a 22 Year old Cacasion (White) Bahamian

and i am of American, Irish, Canadian, American decent ( yea they say bahamians mixed up like conch salad)
I am highly skilled in audio engennering ( Live Production, Dj'ing, Car audio, Fabrication, and now i am training in studio work)
there is no economic growth in my country any more and everbody knows everybody and is related to everyone, it sucks. i am willing to do any thing to get my mule to the other side of the world and englnd has been one of those long time hopefulls
In that case you can apply for registration as an Irish citizen, which will allow you to live freely in the U.K. However you should check with the Bahamas authorities as to whether this will cause loss of your Bahamian citizenship.Lennon_utt wrote:you have a grandparent who was born in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man (see note below)
you have a grandparent who was born in what is now the Republic of Ireland before 31 March 1922 (see note below)
She was born after 1922 in ireland
Shit the is even better news then i expectedINSIDER wrote:Lennon
The cut off date you referred to was in respect of UK nationality. You don't qualify for that,but by virtue of the fact your grandmother was born in what is now the Republic of Ireland you qualify for Irish nationality. As an Irish national you are also an EU national and are therefore able to reside in either Ireland or the UK or any other EU country that takes your fancy.
Funny really, I've lived 46 years believing my grandfather to be Irish, turns out he wasn't! Despite rich Celtic family history, a recent perusal of the Family Bible showed not even my Great Grandfather was Irish born.VictoriaS wrote:I'm making my application for Irish citizenship at the moment, and this is what you need to do -
The first step is to get a form for Foreign Births Registration and send that off with all the evidence. And there is a lot of evidence needed, such as your birth certificate, your parent's birth certificate, grandparent's birth certificate, marriage certificates, death certificates...it's an annoying process just to register, and then I gather it's a pain to get the passport too. But once you have it, you are free to live anywhere in the EU.

In fact the cut-off date was for a U.K. ancestry visa (not citizenship).INSIDER wrote:Lennon
The cut off date you referred to was in respect of UK nationality.
He cannot do that. If he tries, he will be sent straight home.INSIDER wrote:If this is not possible then you will need to have all documentary evidence in proof of your claim when you arrive in either the UK or Ireland.
