Rejected petition Allow immediate family of South African expatriates to reside in the UK.

Myself and fellow expats of South Africa would like the government to grant family visas to our immediate family members with the chance to find employment for themselves and contribute to society.

More details

A common theme amongst expats is the worry we have for our families, taking a toll on our mental health. The increase in crime rates leave us with sleepless nights. The economic crisis in South Africa resulting in unemployment and our families unable to support themselves. Health care is insufficient and often our family members aren't able to receive appropriate care. Our families deserve to live in a safe country and be allowed the chance to support themselves and contribute to society.
