Find out all the latest news about welcoming Hong Kongers across the UK
31st January 2024 marks the three-year anniversary since the UK Government opened a new visa route for British National Overseas (BN(O)) citizens in Hong Kong to move to the UK to live, work, and study. Since then, over 180,000 BN(O) visas have been issued. Government ministers Tom Tugenhadt and Felicity Buchan both addressed a 30 January London reception bringing together Hong Kongers and some of the many UK organisations that have been helping them to settle and integrate in the UK. The event, hosted by the Welcoming Committee for Hong Kongers (WC4HK), celebrated three years of the BN(O) visa scheme and also looked ahead to lunar new year celebrations in coming weeks.
