To waive citizenship fees for EU citizens that are Key Workers against COVID -19
For the EU citizens that are the front line of defence ( Key workers ) in this fight with COVID-19 and want to apply for British citizenship and they already meet the requirements for this process, the fees for the citizenship application to be waived.
We want for the EU citizens that are the front line of defence ( Key workers ) in this fight with COVID-19 and considering that at this moment they are helping the UK nation and not their own, put their lives and their family at risk and helping the UK Nation to pass this difficult and challenging moments that the whole world is facing, as a recognition of their effort, we think that to waive the citizenship fees, it will be a sign of respect and recognition.
