Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is still her Department's policy that eligibility for a British National (Overseas) visa will be extended to people born to at least one British parent in Hong Kong after 1997 in October 2022.
On 24 February 2022, the Government announced in a Written Ministerial Statement a change to the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) route, which will allow adult children of BN(O) status holders born on or after the 1 July 1997, who are currently unable to apply for the BN(O) route independently to do so. The statement is available at: Written statements - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament.
The change is currently scheduled to come into effect this Autumn, at which point further information will be published on GOV.UK.
