Rejected petition UK government to allow Ukrainian refugees a safe route to the UK for asylum.

Please reconsider the nationality and borders bill criminalising those trying to arrive in the UK illegally and for those who facilitate illegal entry into the country- penalising those seeking sanctuary. Please un-suspend applications from Ukraine for people who are not related to British nationals

More details

There is currently no legal route for Ukraine nationals without family in the UK to seek asylum. We need to do more to help the estimated 5 million displaced people reach safety.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Offer fast track asylum to any Ukrainians displaced due to the invasion: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/609382

Waive visa requirement for Ukrainian refugees: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/609530

Help Ukrainian refugees and create a safe path for them to get to the UK: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/609574

We could accept a petition calling for changes to the Nationality and Borders Bill, but it would need to be clear what changes you want to be made. This Bill is still being considered by Parliament, so is not yet law.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
