We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about entry requirements for other countries are a matter for those countries, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Background
Most Gulf states don’t recognise UK Refugee Travel Documents, preventing refugees from visiting family or travelling for tourism. The UK should act diplomatically to remove this unfair restriction and ensure equal treatment for refugees.
