Waive all visas and paper work for refugees fleeing Ukraine

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The Home Office is only allowing Ukrainians with British connections, who are on work, study or visit visas in the UK to apply for their visas to be temporarily extended or to switch onto different visa routes or to apply for asylum.

This is wrong.
Priti Patel has suspended any other visa services including asylum.

This is wrong. Paper work can wait, Ukrainian lives can't!


Tell the Government that we, British Citizens, welcome any and all Ukrainian refugees with open arms like the rest of our European countries have.
