UK TO EXTEND RESIDENCE RIGHTS FOR BRITISH NATIONALS (OVERSEAS) CITIZENS IN HONG KONG
2020-07-02
The new bespoke immigration route will allow BN(O)s to come to the UK without the current 6 month limit, granting them 5 years limited leave to remain, with the ability to live and work in the UK. After these 5 years, they will be able to apply for settled status and, after a further 12 months with that status, apply for citizenship.

英國首相約翰遜(Boris Johnson)7月1日在國會發言時正式表示,將向BNO持有人提供申請成為英國公民的途徑。
英國外相藍韜文(Dominic Raab)隨後講述計劃,英方將向BNO持有人提供5年的有限居留許可(limited leave to remain),可以工作或讀書,5年後他們可以申請定居身份(settled status),然後在額外12個月後能申請成為公民,沒有名額限制。
英國外交部之後的新聞稿提到,有關計劃會在未來數個月實施,將在適當時候公布具體日期與更多細節。
