What the petition asks
The surcharge will rise from £200 to £400 per year. The discounted rate for students and on the Youth Mobility Scheme will increase from £150 to £300. The above policy will implement from 8 January 2019.
This is totally unreasonable, unaccommodating, unhelpful and unwelcome to the UK Immigrants.
