European Assignments and UK Ancestry Visas

A UK Ancestry Visa will only afford you work rights for the United Kingdom, not the rest of the European Union. It is not until you have secured UK Citizenship and a British Passport that you can work freely throughout the European Economic Area.

However, if you have a potential IT Contract in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France or the Republic of Ireland Commonwealth Contractors may be able to help. As part of an established consultancy it may be possible for you to go about delivering IT Consultancy services in another area of the EEA without having to secure a country specific work permit.

At Commonwealth Contractors we partner with OISC Registered Private Immigration Firms & Tier 2 Licensed IT Consultancies that regularly undertake international IT assignments. Where assignments are undertaken in other EEA countries our consultancy partners are happy, where required, to work with employees to gain satisfactory work authorisation.
