Protect Ankara Agreement, Support Turkish Businesses in the UK!
Applications for the Turkish Businessperson visa (Ankara Agreement) was closed as of 31 December 2020 with the transition period of Britain's exit from the European Union ending.
We urge you to negotiate a renewed version of ‘Ankara agreement’ with Turkey that includes provisions similar to the current ones and ensures the continuation of investment by Turkish Nationals in the UK. A special arrangement with Turkey will retain all the benefits of attracting investment and talent that the British economy needs and will improve our prosperity and strengthen our international partnerships as we open a new chapter in our history.

Subject: Turkish Businessperson Visa Holders and Brexit
Dear Mr/Mrs,
There are tens of thousands of Turkish Nationals living in the United Kingdom who have successfully established businesses under the provisions of the European Community Association Agreement (ECAA) with Turkey.
The impact of their continuing contribution to the British economy is immense through the creation of employment, inward investment and the payment of taxes. Applications for the Turkish Businessperson visa was closed as of 31 December 2020 with the transition period of Britain's exit from the European Union ending.
I urge you to ask the government officials to negotiate an agreement with Turkey that includes provisions similar to the current ones and ensures the continuation of investment by Turkish Nationals in the UK. A special arrangement with Turkey will retain all the benefits of attracting investment and talent that the British economy needs and will improve our prosperity and strengthen our international partnerships as we open a new chapter in our history.
Yours sincerely,
