Hello im JD and im from Mauritius. FYI: Mauritius was a British colony and my grandfather has served the British army during the second world war in the rank of corporal.

I need your help to know if my family (including me) is eligible to apply for Bristish citizenship or any other kind of visa.

Your advice and support will be of great help!

Thank U!

Hi Jean Denis Amélie,

Welcome to the forum.

Where and in which year was your grandfather born ?

You may have a look at the following page : https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa

And the rest of the website for any other visa : https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration

All the best,
Bhavna
