Thanks for your comment. The Budget speech article is an old article and was relevant at the time.

All the best

I have two questions …

1. my son’s mother is a British citizen (thru her father she got an ancestral visa – he was born in Ceylon/shr Lanka about 65-70 years ago)
Is my son (aged 16) born in south africa, also entitled to a british ancestral visa/passport???

2. My son’s mother resides permanently in London area and for his sake I am considering moving to the UK so he can be closer to her, but have no idea (it’s all so confusing these new laws etc ) as to what visa I need to apply for ?

I am a military helicopter mechanic currently specialising in British made AUGUSTA WESTLAND (from Yeovil somerset) SUPER LYNX 300 helicopters … I have 20 years of aviation experience and there are sooooooooooooooooooooo many jobs available to someone like me (seems to be a huge shortage in the market over there for my trade) but they all have the same requirement … I need to have a valid work visa or an EU/UK passport … What can I do about this???
