Make free fast-track citizenship available to non-UK keyworkers

Petition Details

Immigrants who have helped with efforts against COVID-19, including health professionals, those working in social care, childcare workers, essential retail staff, transport workers, and public service workers should be rewarded for their service to the nation with fast-track citizenship.

Additional Information

Frontline workers have been exposed to Covid-19 at high rates & many have died, & yet they have continued to show up to work in our hospitals, care homes, essential shops, schools, in public transport, & public services.

Because of the low pay of many key workers, many can't afford the �1,330 it costs to apply for citizenship.

We should reward immigrant key workers for their service to the country by reducing the qualifying period to 2 years, & by waiving the fees, just as other countries have.
