Grant citizenship to residents living in the UK for 15+ years & their children
Pass a law which grants automatic UK citizenship to individuals who have lived in the UK for at least 15 years on a continuous and lawful basis, and who have consistently worked and paid taxes and National Insurance Contributions.
We also ASK for children born in the UK to these long-term residents be automatically granted British citizenship. This measure could acknowledge the long-term economic and social contributions of foreign nationals who have made the UK their permanent home. We urge the Government to establish a fair, transparent and automatic pathway to British citizenship for long-term taxpaying residents who have demonstrated commitment and contribution to the country over 15 years or more.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
