Reduce the extortionate UK naturalisation fees for long-term UK taxpayers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Home Office is charging extremely high fees for naturalisation that sometimes run into thousands of pounds. The fees have been increasing at an unsustainable pace since 2010 and now cause real hardship for people.

Those seeking naturalisation often already contributed a fair amount in taxes.
