Automatic British Citizenship for descendants of British grandparents

Closed 76 signatures

What the petition asks

UK government has all kinds of financial, visa and documentary requirements, effectively denying British descendants their right of return! For instance, someone with all 4 grandparents born in UK cannot just come home!
British descendants abroad with UK grandparents, must have employment with income of over £21,000 per year (more if married) plus many obstacles, like their own medical aid for 5 years and no access to social welfare for 5 years!

If your ancestors left Britain to fight for Britain, you have NO RIGHT TO RETURN, despite it being a Human Right according to United Nations.
