What the petition asks
We ask OUR UK Goverment to urge KSA to abolish or reduce the Umrah visa fees as this is effecting working families with the hardship of penalties.
Whilst the UK Goverment isn't responsible, they can ask and help this get done through the warm relations both countries enjoy and get this achieved,
Whilst the UK Goverment isn't responsible, they can ask and help this get done through the warm relations both countries enjoy and get this achieved,
This has been achieved with other nations when the leader has asked KSA to reduce/abolish this and has happened so we hope we as a nation who are close to KSA through diplomacy can be achieved and help the millions who go for pilgrimage can have relief from this penalty
