Visas: British National (Overseas)
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Prime Minister's article in The Times newspaper of 3 June 2020, what steps she is taking to ensure that the pathway to citizenship, referred to by the Prime Minister, is straightforward and accessible for students who hold BN(O) passports.
- Answer
-
The UK will continue to defend the rights & freedoms of the people of Hong Kong. Should China push ahead and impose national security legislation on Hong Kong then we will provide a generous offer to BN(O)s of a bespoke immigration route providing unrestricted access to work and study with a pathway to apply for citizenship.
We are working closely with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and domestic departments on the offer to British Nationals (Overseas) and will set out more detail in due course.
