Hongkongers with British National (Overseas) status holders can apply for a UK visa without a BN(O) passport, the UK’s Foreign Office said on Friday, after the Chinese regime declared its derecognition of the BN(O) passport.

“We are disappointed but not surprised by the Chinese decision not to recognise British National (Overseas) passports,” the Foreign Office said in a statement emailed to NTD.
