dbo:abstract
  • British National (Overseas), abbreviated BN(O), is a class of British nationality associated with the former colony of Hong Kong. The status was acquired through voluntary registration by individuals with a connection to the territory who had been British Dependent Territories citizens (BDTCs) before the handover to China in 1997. Registration for BN(O) status was limited to the 10-year period preceding the transfer as a transitional arrangement for colonial subjects; current residents cannot newly acquire this nationality. BN(O)s are British nationals and Commonwealth citizens, but not British citizens. They are subject to immigration controls when entering the United Kingdom and do not have automatic right of abode there or in Hong Kong, but all BN(O)s would have had permanent resident status in Hong Kong when they acquired this nationality. Following the Chinese government's imposition of controversial national security legislation on Hong Kong, the UK has allowed BN(O)s and their dependent family members to apply for renewable five-year residence visas since 31 January 2021. This nationality gives its holders favoured status when they are resident in the United Kingdom, conferring eligibility to vote, obtain citizenship under a simplified process, and serve in public office or government positions. There are an estimated 2.9 million BN(O)s; about 680,000 of them hold active British passports with this status and enjoy consular protection when travelling abroad. However, the Chinese government does not recognise these passports as valid travel documents and restricts BN(O)s from accessing British consular protection from diplomatic missions located in Hong Kong and mainland China.

  • 英國國民(海外)(英語:British National (Overseas),簡稱:BN(O))是一種英國國籍。既是英國國民,也是英聯邦公民,但此身分不賦予英国居留权。英國國民(海外)於1980年代因香港前途問題而設立,讓香港的英國屬土公民登記,以便他們在香港主權移交以後,繼續與英國保持關係。 憑香港關係而取得的英國屬土公民身份在1997年7月1日失效,有關人士可在1987年起登記成為英國國民(海外),登記程序在1997年終止,先後有340多萬香港的英國屬土公民登記。英國國民(海外)終身有效,不會因為取得其他國籍而失效,但不能由子女及後代承繼。所有英國國民(海外)都有權申請英國國民(海外)護照。英國國民(海外)在英國國外可享用英國的領事服務。如果身處没有英國駐館的地方,則可以用英聯邦公民身份使用英聯邦國家的領事服務。 2020年7月1日,英國政府經審視後認定《港區國安法》的實行明顯違反《中英聯合聲明》,因此決定將英國國民(海外)護照持有人的待遇進行重大改動,除免簽證逗留英國本土最多六個月外,去工作與讀書也可申請五年的BNO簽證,並可帶同配偶及子女赴英。當居留時間超過五年即可申請无限期居留(永久居留許可),再於英國居留一年後即可登記為英國公民,但基於遵守《中英聯合聲明》,英國國民(海外)國籍並不會自動賦予居英權。 (zh)
