Closed 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the Government or Parliament to extend Tier 4 visa till April 2021 for those International students whose visa expires on Jan 2021. Considering, the current scenarios of Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and having multiple lockdowns the Government has to taker better decision.
Considering, the coronavirus outbreak and its effect on the economic conditions and the job market being hit very badly. Also, the country going through three lockdowns has indirectly affected the companies or firms to freeze all their hiring till the next year. Hence, the International students are going through a rough phase by losing their hopes over their future career prospects and financial crisis. Hence, the government has to take a fair decision and extend their visa till April 2021.
