Advocate for expansion of visa-free travel worldwide for BN(O) passport holders

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should actively lobby for expanded global visa-free access for British national (Overseas) passport holders. This includes negotiations with key nations like Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, The United States, and Guyana.
We believe advocating for BNO visa-free travel would demonstrate the UK's commitment to British Nationals' rights and acknowledge their contributions. We consider that this advocacy would also serve as a form of soft power, showcasing the UK's global influence. Enhancing mobility for BN(O) passport holders would we believe give the UK a competitive edge in attracting top talent and leaders worldwide.
