British National Overseas Visa
About British National Overseas Visa
The British National (Overseas) visa, often called the BNO visa, is the UK route for BNO status holders from Hong Kong and their close family members. It offers a path to live, work and study in the UK and is a recognised route to settlement and ultimately British citizenship. The application requires careful evidence of identity, BNO status, accommodation and family relationships. RakLAW supports applicants from initial entry through to settlement, helping families build a secure future in the UK.
