Hello, I would just like to find out if we are able to get married at the registry office on ancestral visas. Both of us are on ancestral visas and have been here 3 years . As far as giving notice goes , will it be atleast 28 days before marriage day or will it be the 70 days I had seen online ...

Hello all, If someone could be of some help. We are going to move from England to Ireland in July /August 2020 I will be on my British Passport and my husband and son on South African passports. I am just wondering if BREXIT will have any kind of impact on us moving and my husband getting a job. I ...

Ooooh ok I see now that's making sense. I was worried their visas would be cancelled the moment I applied for BP and they would have to leave the UK then and there.
So will apply 6 weeks before we leave. I guess that's a good enough time frame.

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you. That is our exact situation. I know about everything once we arrive in Ireland as we have family there who have done the same thing. So are you saying I will NEED to do the switch or can I just stay as I am, then apply for the British passport just before we leave? I see it takes up to 6 ...

Hello everybody, ok so heres my story. We decided to move over to England from South Africa and did this through an agency.
