Equal visa rights for family members of British and non-British NHS workers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government has announced that dependants of NHS workers are eligible for a free 1 year extension on their visas. Currently, such concession only applies to migrant NHS workers who are also applying. We believe it should be extended to the dependants of all NHS workers, both British and migrants.

One NHS, one treatment to all NHS workers. Nobody working in the NHS should have to worry about their dependants visas at this time. Their sacrifices and hard work are vital. They should all have the full support of the government.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

We think this petition is similar:
Home Office to offer one year visa extensions without applications being made.
