BNO to British Citizenship

HI. I am non chinese holding BNO and SAR Passport can I applies for Full British Citizenship,

please ADVICE Thanks alot

Check with the British Consulate in Admiralty. If you were born in HK prior to the handover, legally resident here and are not of Chinese descent, it may be possible.

From Wikipedia - so may be inaccurate:


British citizenship for non-ethnic-Chinese which were wrongfully denied


In February 2006, in response to representations made by Lord Avebury and Tameem Ebrahim,[9] British authorities announced that six hundred British citizenship applications of ethnic minority children of Indian descent from Hong Kong were wrongly refused.[10] The applications dated from the period July 1997 onwards. Where the applicant in such cases confirms that he or she still wishes to receive British citizenship the decision will be reconsidered on request.

BOC/BC status for certain ethnic Indians (new Indian law)


Recent changes to India's Citizenship Act 1955 (see Indian nationality law) provide that Indian citizenship by descent can no longer be acquired automatically at the time of birth. This amendment will also allow some children of Indian origin born in Hong Kong after 3 December 2004 who have a British National (Overseas) or British Overseas Citizen parent to automatically acquire British Overseas Citizen status at birth under the provisions for reducing statelessness in article 6(2) or 6(3) of the Hong Kong (British Nationality) Order 1986. If they have acquired no other nationality after birth, they will be entitled to register for full British citizenship with right of abode in the UK.

BOC/BC status for certain ethnic Nepalese (reinterpretation of Nepalese law)


Recent clarification of Nepal citizenship law has meant a number of persons born in Hong Kong who failed to renounce their British nationality before the age of 21 and were previously thought to be citizens of Nepal are in fact solely British. The British Government has recently accepted that certain Nepalese passport holders born in Hong Kong before 30 June 1976 are British Overseas Citizens,[11] and can register for full British citizenship (with right of abode in the UK) if they wish to do so.

Future of BN(O) status: Lord Goldsmith's Citizenship Review in 2008


Lord Goldsmith discussed the BN(O) issue in his Citizenship Review in 2008.[12] He indicated the BN(O) status is an "anomalous" in the history of British Nationality Law. He does not set any pre-assured stance on the issue whether the BN(O) status should be removed or to be preserved.[13]

Franchise in the United Kingdom


BN(O) passport holders, when legally resident in the United Kingdom, enjoy much the same franchise as other British and Commonwealth nationals.

I was born here and I am non-chinese caucasian but can't get full Brit ppt only BNO

19k?

Where are you from?

It's worth trying. Perhaps the fact that you have an SAR passport may stop you getting one but then again, I think we Brits owe everyone in HK born before the handover a passport. Not sure if they can check if you have an SAR passport with the authorities here. How can they tell? Do you have three stars on your HKID?

Why not just go to the UK consulate, get a form for a full UK passport and apply? If they challenge you, you can just say you filled in the wrong one by mistake. They're so useless they may just give you one anyway. I'd be surprised if they can read.

One trick might be to travel to somewhere like Holland or Sweden and then try to settle. After arriving, you could see a lawyer and get him/her to put in a type if asylum claim. You could say the BNO passport is a descriminatory document and you have the right to work in Holland/Sweden under current EU legislation.

yes i have three stars HKID

so123. I suppose you could simply apply using your birth certificate. Not sure if they check with HK government.
