What the petition asks

All non-British citizens that wish to visit, reside temporarily or reside indefinitely in the U.K. must do so with sufficient finances so as not to require state welfare or financial support from the British taxpayer.
This should include seeking free access to the NHS or other health care providers

Anyone who wishes to visit, reside temporarily or reside indefinately in any other country excluding the U.K. must first prove that they are of good health undergoing medical examinations, prove that they have sufficient finances with bank statements, provide proof of no criminal record, proof of an open ended return ticket back to their country of origin or citizenship and that they have a legitimate offer of employment within the country in which they wish to reside. Protecting all concerned

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether want to change the rules for who is entitled to access welfare in the UK, to change the rules for UK visas and citizenship, or something else.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
