Reform the broken visa system keeping doctors and other skilled workers out
Hundreds of NHS workers, and thousands of other professionals such as software engineers and lawyers are being prevented from entering the UK by an antiquated Tier 2 visa quota set up long before Brexit.
Europeans are leaving the country, so we need doctors and other professionals more than ever.
Taking back control over our immigration does not mean rejecting talented people who work skilled jobs, pay lots of taxes and contribute to the UK economy!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about visa rules, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like to see.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
