Create a Syrian Family Scheme Visa for people homeless due to the earthquake

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to help and support Syrian people in Turkey, who are homeless and have family in the UK to come to the UK, like the Ukraine Family Scheme visa.
We are people who have permanent residence, and some of us have British citizenship. We have fathers and mothers in Turkey who are currently homeless, with no breadwinner but us.
