Implement regular checks on the legal status of all visa holders in the UK.

What the petition asks

We call on the Government to establish a system for conducting regular checks on UK visa holders to ensure they maintain their legal status and comply with UK immigration law. We think this should include periodic assessments to verify ongoing eligibility and adherence to immigration regulations.
We think regular checks on UK visa holders are essential to uphold the immigration system’s integrity and ensure compliance with UK laws. By verifying their status periodically, we think people could be identified who may no longer meet their visa requirements. We think this proactive approach would help prevent abuse of the system and enhance public confidence in immigration policies. We believe maintaining a transparent and accountable immigration system is vital for national security and social cohesion.
