Conference: "A better deal for migrants"

As part of our campaign against extortionate visa fees, we will be holding a conference, “A Better Deal for Migrants: Campaigning for a fairer visa and settlement process”, on 9 February 2023 in London.

We will be bringing together people who have first-hand experience of the UK’s settlement process, as well as campaigners and policy makers and shapers to discuss how we can campaign for a fairer visa systemfor migrants.

This is an event for individuals and organisations to come together to strategize and strengthen all our campaigning around these issues.

Join us at our conference if you have been impacted by extortionate visa fees, are on the 5 or 10 year route to settlement, or are campaigning on these issues.
