Any ex armed service personal should automatically have full residential status

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

To give ex services or current serving personal Permanent residency or citizenship fee free
They have served the country with the possibility of being killed. They should automatically be welcome to stay as most form families here. I think it’s a disgusting that they have to fight for that right , where they could be killed or permanently injured and still are not classified as a resident of that country they have fought for. Thanks
