End the Immigration Health Surcharge for National Insurance payers

Closed 48 signatures

What the petition asks

People may be struggling to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge, when they are renewing their residence permits. If they are working and paying national insurance and taxes, we think it's not fair that people have to then pay again for the Health Service Charge when they apply to renew their visa.
I want the Government to end the Immigration Health Surcharge for those who are working and contributing towards national insurance and taxes. Because there are people who are struggling and under pressure, but also immigrants doing well to support the country.
