Article summary

​The Minister for Safe and Legal Migration, Kevin Foster MP, has made a written statement to Parliament in relation to the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) visa route. The statement confirms that the eligibility criteria for BN(O) Household Members (dependent children aged 18 or above born on or after 1 July 1997) are being relaxed to permit applicants with at least one BN(O) parent to apply under the route, independently of the BN(O) parent. The government intends to lay the changes before Parliament in September 2022, with changes coming into force from October 2022.
