UK Visa Requirements For Australian Citizens

Many Australian citizens have some connection to the UK which may give rise to a basis on which they can apply for a visa to move to the UK. For example, as a citizen of Australia, you might have a British parent, grandparent, or partner. In this post we look at the options you might have for relocating to the UK as an Australian with a British parent, grandparent or partner, as well as alternative UK visa options for Australians without a British family member.

Do Australians Need a Visa for the UK?

If you are Australian and you have a British parent, you may be a British citizen, and may be able to apply for a British passport rather than a visa.

If you were born after 01 January 1983, and you have a parent who is British "otherwise than by descent", you may be a British citizen.
