What the petition asks
Current tourist visas don't allow staying for more than 180 days. The Government should allow citizens from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus who are currently in the UK to extend their tourists beyond 180 days.
It is not safe to travel back to Ukraine.
In Russia and Belarus, sanctions and a possibility of martial law make it risky to travel back.
Allowing people from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus to extend their tourist visas would provide security to people that are facing a lot of uncertainty in their lives.
