Review Visa requirements of the families of serving Commonwealth Soldiers

Petition Details

I highlight the case of a Fijian Soldier who is serving in the British Army who has been separated from his family due to current UK Visa laws. As this soldier does not earn the £27,000 required, his family are forced to remain in Fiji. He is also required to find £6000 just for a Visa application.

Additional Information

The soldier in question served in Afghanistan then discharged from the Army. He subsequently rejoined into the MPGS. His family moved back to Fiji and are now unable to join him. He has seen his family once for 2 weeks in three years. It is unfair to have free movement within Europe yet serving Soldiers are unable to be accompanied due to archaic Visa regulations
