What the petition asks
A request to extend the visas of temporary residents and visitors as the situation around the world is alarming due to COVID-19. The current extension has been granted till 31st July, with no further update yet. A further extension would bring mental peace & help in reducing stress now.
Due to COVID-19, the world has come to a halt, and many human lives are at stake. As you are aware that many people travel to the UK as tourists, investors, students and to visit their loved ones with no intention to overstay. Travelling during this crisis can be dangerous. Due to COVID-19, over 15 Million have been affected & 600k plus people lost their lives. It would be humanitarian, helpful, and a supporting act by the Government to extend these visas, and not forcing anyone to leave.
