Changes to the provisions for adult children within the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) route
The changes being made to Appendix Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (HK BN(O)) include provision to enable children of BN(O) status holders to apply to the BN(O) route independently (that is, without needing to form part of their parents’ household or apply at the same time as them).
This change will apply to those who:
• have at least one BN(O) parent;
• are aged 18 or over;
• were born on or after 1 July 1997; and
• reside in Hong Kong, the UK or the Crown Dependencies.
Partners, dependent children, and adult dependent relatives of the adult child may also apply with them.
This change will take effect from 30 November 2022.
