The UK’s new visa programme allowing Hong Kong British National (Overseas) status holders to live in the UK is “very generous” and “addresses the desperate needs of Hong Kong people,” an exiled Hong Kong human rights activist said.
BN(O) status holders in Hong Kong and their eligible family members can apply for a visa to live, study, and work in the UK from Jan. 31, with the opportunity to renew the visa and eventually apply for British citizenship.
