Lower the cost of British Citizenship applications to £800
We think the current cost of applying for British citizenship is disproportionately high and creates a real barrier for people who have lived, worked, and paid taxes in the UK for many years.
The actual administrative cost is around £575, yet applicants are charged £1605. Citizenship should reflect integration and contribution, not financial privilege. Reducing the fee to £800 would be fair, transparent, and just make it easier to apply for many people.
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.
