Closed Waive visa requirements for refugees from the earthquake in Turkey

Closed on

Open the doors for people to come from Turkey, officially the Republic of Türkiye, as the country has experienced a disaster.

Current visa and immigration restrictions make it difficult for people seeking refuge from the recent earthquake in Turkey.

Many UK residents have family in Turkey. The UK should temporarily at least open their doors to Turkey, and remove the need for refugees from the earthquake to gain visas to enter the UK.
