Correct yes, provided you have all the original documentation.1. Am i correct in saying that if he was born in Ireland before 1 April 1922 I can apply for a UK ancestry visa?
Your ancestry
You must also show that you have a grandparent born in 1 of the following circumstances:
in the UK, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
before 31 March 1922 in what is now the Republic of Ireland
There isn't really any, he is applying as your dependent and are the children. You need to provide evidence that you intend to work, your husband can submit the same evidence. The whole family will need a TB test certificate. All your birth/marriage certs must be original and birth certs must be unabridged ones.2. What is the criteria for my husband of 14 years and two minor children to join me?
£496 visa fee EACH. You will also have to pay £1000 Immigration Health Surcharge EACH. The fee is the same for each applicant, no discount. I worked out to bring my parents back (they were here and left), they need roughly R30,000 each just to apply. That excludes the funds you have to show in your bank account to prove you can support yourself, roughly R25,000 - R30,000 EACH.3. How much does the visa cost PER PERSON? (is the same for everyone? dependant visas as well?)
£1000 as stated above.4. What is the medical surcharge and how much would that be per person?
Per person as stated above.5. The 1600 GBP that has to be in the account to show self support, is that per person or for all of us? We will be both be working ASAP (we have always been self employed and will most probably open a business there as well) so will be earning and supporting ourselves in a very short period of time. So would we need 6400 GBP or just 1600 GBP for all of us?
Depending on exchange rate, roughly R120,000 just for the visa application fees PLUS the roughly R100,000 in funds to support yourselves.6. All in all can someone give me a rough idea of how much we are going to need, for a family of four, to apply for the ancestral visa (self support money, visa and medical surcharge from South Africa)
Thank you very much for the info! Its allot of money but its a throw up between time or money for us at this stage. A few more questions if i may.CR001 wrote:1. your reply...
As long as your parents are BOTH named on your birth certificate this should be fine. You will obviously also need the kids unabridged birth certs to prove you are their parent.ScaredSh*tless wrote:Thank you very much for the info!

I do have all original documents, including my grandfather's original Irish birth certificate in 1909. My mother and father as well as my grandparents were never married though. Do they require their marriage certificates? and what can i submit in leu of them?
What other supporting documents should we submit? Do they need a CV? We are self employed, will they want to see proof? if so, what kind of proof?
Bank account statements?
Anything else you can add would be appreciated, its already quite a cost, id like to sidestep using an agent if possible and cut the costs by applying for ourselves. Is this advisable?
Thank you again
Is unabridged ok or do they have to be vault copies?CR001 wrote:You don't need death certs. Only birth and marriage.
