Closed Make parents at risk eligible for family visas to join their children in the UK

Closed on

Amend the rules for family visas so that parents who do not need long term care but are in danger or at risk of being without normal provisions (e.g. food, access to medicines) can join settled children in the UK.

Right now there are riots and looting happening in South Africa and many people living in the UK have parents who are at risk. Shopping malls, businesses & homes have been burned, it is chaos. The army has been called in but is struggling to regain any control. Ambulances have been stolen, food supplies, businesses, medical supplies and infrastructure in KZN has been destroyed. Let parents come to the UK to stay with children who are settled here.
