Reinstate study visas for Sudanese students and fully protect their education

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 7 March 2026

The UK suspended Sudanese study visas citing a surge in asylum claims. However, we believe most students are genuine and law-abiding. We think this blanket ban denies education, punishes lawful students, and disrupts futures. Parliament must reinstate visas and protect students’ right to study. The Home Office imposed a visa brake after student asylum claims surged 470% between 2021 2025. Although intended to prevent misuse, we think this measure punishes the majority of lawful students, blocks safe education, harms academic and professional futures, and raises serious human rights concerns. Parliament must reinstate study visas and introduce targeted safeguards to prevent abuse without restricting genuine students.

Petition against giving £10/£40k free cash incentives, to failed asylum seekers

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 7 March 2026

Not allow free cash incentive to be used in bribe methods to illegal failed asylum seekers I feel strongly against bribery of cash to illegal immigrants, illegally crossing over here jumping on dingys. Expecting to give alot of cash would just be a massive incentive for them all with the situation of free cash its just going to get made worse. They tried before with the one in one out, the man sent back on a boat on the news he had just jumped back on a dingy & came back, which shows a cash incentive would be just pointless.

PREVENT INCENTIVE PAYMENTS TO ASYLUM SEEKERS OF UPTO £40,000

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 March 2026

Scrap the newly invented trial scheme for illegal immigrants receiving upto £40,000 payment to leave the UK This isn’t acting as a deterrent but an incentive for illegal immigrants to come to the UK. It sends the wrong message that if they fail to stay here they will be paid to leave.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 March 2026

Oppose or scrap the plan to offer failed asylum seekers 40k each of tax payers money to voluntarily leave the country. Tax payers should not be paying to reward people who come into this country illegally, they should simply be detained and deported.

Stop pilot scheme giving up to £40,000 to failed asylum seeker families

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 March 2026

The UK government should stop its pilot scheme offering failed asylum seekers our hard earned money for them to leave the UK. We feel it is not fair to the UK people to provide our money to failed asylum seekers to get them to leave.

Stop the Government's Pilot Scheme to Pay Failed Asylum Seekers £10,000 to leave

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 6 March 2026

Immediately halt and scrap the recently announced pilot scheme that offers failed asylum seekers - whose claims have been rejected and who have exhausted all appeal rights — up to £10,000 per person (capped at £40,000 per family) as an "incentive payment" to leave the United Kingdom voluntarily. This represents an unacceptable and unjustifiable use of taxpayers' money. This creates perverse incentives and undermines fairness — Offering substantial payments only to those who have already had their asylum claims refused risks sending the wrong message. Focus instead on faster asylum processing, robust enforcement of removals for those with no right to stay, and measures to prevent abuse of the asylum system. We deserve a migration system that is firm, fair, and protects public finances.

Provide funding to British families equal to support for failed asylum seekers

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 March 2026

For every payment made to a failed asylum seeker as part of the Home Office's pilot scheme, the same payment should be made to a British family to be used for a deposit on a home in the UK. We feel there are too many british people that are held ransom to an extortionate private rental market or on 10-20yr+ waiting lists for a council house. We think the government should provide additional funding to british citizens that matches financial support for failed asylum seekers.

Cancel the proposed £40k payment for failed asylum seekers

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 March 2026

Cancel the proposed trial and scheme to pay failed asylum seekers £40k to leave the country It is morally unacceptable to pay failed asylum seekers more than the UK average wage to get them to leave a country where they should simply be deported. This will attract even more migrants to enter the UK knowing they will be paid £40k to leave. Several will keep coming back come back claiming no paperwork, different names and DOB to claim the benefit more than once…. It’s better than working for a living. This is an insult to taxpayers across the UK and someone should stop it

Deport failed asylum seekers as a matter of course

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 March 2026

If people come to this country illegally and are not refugees. They should be automatically deported Immigration is putting enormous strain on housing and services and is also proving decisive. Knowing that illegal migrants will be deported will help ease the public's concerns.

Stop - Failed asylum seeker families to be offered up to £40k to leave UK

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 March 2026

Stop funding failed asylum claims. Enforce the law: return anyone who traveled through safe countries to the last safe country they came from. No one is above immigration rules. Uphold UK asylum system integrity. Current rules are being bypassed when people travel through safe countries before reaching the UK. This undermines the integrity of the asylum system, misuses public funds, and weakens enforcement of immigration law. Ensuring compliance protects resources and upholds the rule of law.

Exit ECHR & do not pay families of failed asylum seekers up to £40k to leave UK

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 March 2026

Stop the pilot scheme to pay families of failed asylum seekers up to £40K to leave the UK. In our view, Government cannot be allowed to pay people who have not gotten asylum with our taxpayer money. There is a cost of living crisis, and we think we need money for defence. We should also exit ECHR. We feel that it is not acceptable to give money away like this. In our view, it is not an incentive and is a waste of more money. We also call on the Government to leave the ECHR, and remove people with failed asylum claims.

Hold a referendum regarding UK withdrawal from the 1951 Refugee Convention

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 March 2026

To combat false and unwarranted bogus asylum applications which we believe make up a significant proportion of all current applications, give the British public a referendum on withdrawal from this treaty which we think is outdated and flawed & only benefits nations other than the British public. We believe bogus asylum applications are rife and as a nation we continue to allow too many people to abuse this route into our country costing billions of pounds that could be used in other ways to benefit the British electorate. I believe holding a referendum would also help to restore diminished national pride.

Exempt Afghan women from the study-visa suspension and reinstate routes to study

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 March 2026

Create an immediate exemption to the current suspension of study visas for Afghan nationals, so Afghan women and girls can obtain UK education visas (including university, foundation and English pathways) with appropriate safeguards, and publish clear guidance for applicants and institutions. The UK has paused study visas for Afghan citizens. We believe that this decision effectively shuts one of the last education routes for Afghan women and girls at a time when education inside Afghanistan is severely restricted. In our view, penalising genuine students because others may claim asylum for illegitimate reasons is disproportionate. We believe that the UK can protect border integrity without blocking women’s education, and that taking this action aligns with UK values on girls’ education and human rights.
