Rejected petition Visa exemption for earthquake victims of Turkey to join their families in UK
Rejected on
The recent earthquake in Turkey has left thousands of people stranded in the freezing cold with very limited shelter and food.
There are currently no temporary visa exemptions to support victims of such event. Families in the UK are very concerned for their loved ones health and safety.
We urge the UK goverment to provide temporary visa exemptions to earthquake victims of Turkey to join their families in the UK.
