Give Commonwealth members of British Armed Services right to remain indefinitely

Petition Details

Many Commonwealth ex-service personal are struggling with the process to gain the right to stay in the UK and are suffering hardship as a result.

Additional Information

We ask that the Government automatically granted an indefinite right to remain when Commonwealth personnel leave the Armed Forces.

The Guardian covered the story of one such veteran who has been caught in Fiji after attending his daughter's wedding, unable to return to his wife and family: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/10/i-feel-betrayed-the-british-army-veteran-stuck-in-fiji-because-of-immigration-rules
