Immigration: Hong Kong

Question

What assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the White Paper entitled Restoring control over the immigration system on British National (Overseas) visa holders.

Answer

The British National Overseas route reflects the UK’s historic and moral commitment to the people of Hong Kong who chose to retain their ties to the UK by taking up British National Overseas status.

We continue to uphold these commitments by supporting British National Overseas status holders to come to the UK through the British National Overseas route.
