Rejected petition Waive Visa requirements for Ukrainian refugees now

Rejected on 17 March 2022

This is an urgent situation . Application processes for Visas are too slow and difficult for traumatised families and children who have often left husbands and fathers in Ukraine and may even have lost documents. Many countries have already waived Visa requirements .

It is our obligation and desire to help refugees fleeing from such a dire situation as we would want to be helped
