Angry UK abolishing Kiwi ancestry visa?

Britain set to abolish Kiwi ancestry visa

The visa currently enables New Zealanders aged 17 and over with British grandparents to four years residency with full working privileges.

After four years in the United Kingdom, Commonwealth residents can apply for full residency in the United Kingdom, a path followed by many.

The current system, established in 1972, threatens to be replaced by a points-based system, with tougher restrictions New Zealand and other Commonwealth citizens seeking permits and obtaining British citizenship.
