Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Reduce the fees for longer term Standard Visitor visas
The Government should reduce the cost of Standard Visitor visas so they are more in line with other countries such as France which charges 99 Euros. The current Standard Visitor visa fees for 5 and 10 years are cost £655 and £822. This is too much.

Family and frequent visitors who would like to avail this option have to dish out a lot. These visitors do not avail any public funds and spend towards the tourism industry anyways. Giving them a cheaper option to get a long term multiple entry visa could lead to more travellers and boost to economy. The hassle of going through a visa process every time you have to travel puts people off and sometime causes unnecessary hassle.
