Willis Fu Yiu-wai, a senior immigration consultant at Goldmax Associates, said he expected an increase in applications later this year, when the British government extended the visa scheme to allow young Hongkongers born on or after July 1, 1997, and who have at least one parent with BN(O) status to apply to settle in Britain on an independent basis.
“We received calls from youngsters who are looking for ways to leave Hong Kong, but were previously not eligible to apply for the BN(O) visa,” he said. “Now, with that chance, I foresee an increase in applications starting from October.”
