UK Immagration question

[remy]

Hi all, just wondering if any of you could help me on the topic

im thinking of going to london for a few years too work once i finish my degree, im a NZ citizen and my grandad was a uk citizen, how hard is it to get a work visa or watever you call it over there and the fact that my grandad was a uk citizen does that count for anything?

it's really really easy , just goto Calais in France and they run a shuttle service into the UK

Nah just jesting , not sure don't think it is too hard loads of people come over from NZ every year , maybe worth serahcing on google for the UK imigration website which will give full details

Good luck

There should be no issue with the work visa(though i beleive that its a long process), however the fact that you grandparents are uk citizens shouldnt impact on it in any way. Your local UK embassy should be able to help you with more info though.

I have dual citizenship only because my dad was born in sussex(and could only get that before i was 25), therefore i dont need to get a visa...

Unfortunately my Dad (born in Dover) screwed up and didn't register me as a British subject before I was 18 so all I can get now is a COE (certificate of entitlement) BUT in order to apply for it I need to provide *original* documentation, including a birth certificate which - along with my NZ citizenship certificate - was stolen in 2000.

Trying to get a replacement Rhodesian *cough cough* I mean Zimbabwean birth certificate from the embassy in Canberra has cost me almost 4 years of frustration and I still don't have the required document!!!
