BNO (British National Overseas) is a travel document issued by the United Kingdom in 1987 to about 7 million Hong Kong residents at the time. It was designed to provide a new identity for Hong Kong residents after the handover of Hong Kong sovereignty in 1997. Although holders of BNO can enter the UK, they are not British citizens and have no right to settle and work in the UK. They do not have any special rights in Hong Kong and can only stay in the UK for no more than 6 months. Until 2020, the UK announced a new policy on BNO, which will allow BNO holders to be allowed to reside in the UK and even apply for naturalization as long as they meet certain conditions, such as passing an English test and having no major criminal record, providing a "second way out" for Hong Kong people.
The process of applying for a British National Overseas (BNO) passport consists of several important steps. Next, I will explain these steps in detail so that you can understand the entire application process.
1. Confirm qualifications
First, you need to confirm whether you are eligible to apply for BNO. According to British government regulations, all persons who were born in Hong Kong before July 1, 1997 and were British overseas citizens at the time, as well as their children, are eligible to apply for BNO.
2. Prepare documents
After confirming that you are eligible to apply for BNO, the next step is to prepare the documents required for the application. These documents include: your identity document, your old British Overseas National Passport (if you have one), your birth certificate, your parents’ marriage certificate, etc. If your children are also applying, their birth certificates and your marriage certificate will also be required.
3. Fill out the application form
Once the documents are ready, you can start filling out the application form. You can find the application form on the official website of the UK Home Office and follow the instructions to fill in the information. It should be noted that all information on the application form must be filled in English and the accuracy of the information must be ensured.
4. Submit the application and pay the fee
Finally, you need to submit the completed application form and prepared documents together, and pay the application fee. You can choose to submit your application in person at a British consulate, or by letter or online service. Generally, the application fee is paid in one lump sum when you submit your application.
The steps to apply for BNO may seem a bit complicated, but as long as you follow the regulations step by step, you can successfully complete the application.
