Petition Allow people on skilled worker visas to apply for UK citizenship after 3 years

The essence of a prosperous nation lies in its ability to attract and retain skilled professionals who make an important contribution to the economic, cultural and social fabric of our society. Skilled migrants have historically played a vital role in strengthening our economy.

A shorter pathway to citizenship will enhance our nation's appeal to highly skilled professionals, encouraging them to choose the UK as their preferred destination.
Skilled migrants contribute to economic growth through increased productivity, entrepreneurship, and job creation. Accelerating their path to citizenship will enable them to make more substantial long-term investments in our country.
In a globalized world, attracting top talent is a competitive endeavour.
