Thousands in Hong Kong sign up to BNO visa scheme for UK citizenship
The new immigration route for British National Overseas (BNO) citizens from Hong Kong opened for applications on January 31. 5.4 million Hongkongers could ultimately be eligible for British citizenship under this scheme.
The UK government expects about 300,000 people to come to the UK under this scheme in the first five years.
Almost 5,000 Hongkongers have already applied for the UK’s visa route a fortnight after the scheme opened.
