The Hong Kong BN(O) Status Holder Visa is an immigration route that allows Hong Kong British National (Overseas) citizens to live, work, and study in the UK. Applicants can be ordinarily resident in Hong Kong or the UK, and this visa route may lead to settlement in the UK. Hong Kong BN(O) Status Holder Visa holders can be accompanied by their Dependent Partner and Dependent Children or Grandchildren under 18, irrespective of their nationality. In exceptional circumstances, other Adult Dependent Relatives with a high degree of dependency on the BN(O) or the BN(O)’s partner may also apply.

HONG KONG
BN(O) HOUSEHOLD MEMBER VISA
The Hong Kong BN(O) Household Member Visa is an immigration route for adult children (aged 18 or over) of a BN(O) Status Holder or a BN(O) Status Holder’s partner, born on or after 1 July 1997, to live, work, and study in the UK. Applicants can be ordinarily resident in Hong Kong or the UK, and this visa route may lead to settlement in the UK. Hong Kong BN(O) Household Members can be joined by their Dependent Partner, Dependent Children under the age of 18, or Adult Dependent Relatives of the Hong Kong BN(O) Household Member or their partner. Since 30 November 2022, adult children (born on or after 1 July 1997) of BN(O) Status Holders have not been required to form part of the same household or apply at the same time as the BN(O) Status Holder. In other words, adult children can apply independently of their BN(O) Status Holder parents. Partners, dependent children, and adult dependent relatives of the adult child may also apply with them.
