Allow family of BN(O) nationals to get a British passport
Children and other family of BN(O) holders cannot inherit British National (Overseas) status. The UK has a proud historical and ethical commitment to BN(O) holders. We believe allowing family of BN(O) nationals born after 1997 to get British passports can fully demonstrate its commitment.
The Government has said that the National Security Law imposed by the Chinese government constitutes a clear breach of the legally binding Sino-British Joint Declaration. The Government launched the Hong Kong BN(O) visa in 2021. Still, BN(O) visa holders who have Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Passports have faced a dilemma when deciding whether to renew their passport. Allowing them to get British passports would mean they wouldn't need to renew their HKSAR passport.
