Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
Ukrainian refugees making the 1,400-mile journey to Britain found that a visa applications center (VAC) has not yet set up near the French port of Calais, where refugees have gathered. Refugees need a fast track application and waiver of visa through humanitarian route to access the UK.
Set up humanitarian routes for war refugees, fast track, walk-in application and waiver of visas to enter the UK and access support.
