Rejected petition Remove visa requirements for Ukranian nationals
The UK Government should immediately remove all visa requirements for Ukranian nationals fleeing conflict. This would bring the UK in line with what other governments in Europe are doing.
More details
The current government position is to allow Ukranian nationals to come to the UK if they have immediate family here. This does not go far enough and it far less generous that what other European countries are doing. The UK should follow other European governments and end all visa requirements for Ukranian nationals with immediate effect.
