It won't unless they are close family (mother/father etc).

Sergio De Almeida

it would be an aunt in question.

Sergio De Almeida

how hard would it be if I had to make my way and how much it would cost to move over and with my work backround in hospitality and more as im currently in security

The UK Government are being very restrictive regarding immigration to the UK.

The rules regarding family visas don't stretch to nephews (you can read them from this link).  You will only get in if you have a skill that the British Government has deemed as being a "shortage profession"; you can access the list from this link.

Unfortunately, hospitality and security aren't included on the current list.

You might find it easier to get into Portugal (I see you speak the language).

Sergio De Almeida

if stating that is an issue im European and possibly have a chance and cant access that link.
in asking is there any other way for me to move over in the requirements in the skills they ask?

Sergio De Almeida

yes that is no issue but I want to be in the uk as Im willing to make a life overseas unless I start in Portugal it is possible but in value of the sense of work im thinking of a more and appropriate success and my family is there as well in residence....

You can't claim ancestry via your Aunt, but were any of your grandparents born in the UK?
