Apply for BNO Visa to live, work, and study in the UK. The UK government has recently announced to open a British National Overseas (BNO) visa for the British National Overseas and their close family members from 31 January 2021.

British National Overseas (BNO) Visa - How to Apply?

 

What is the meaning of BNO Visa in the UK?

The United Kingdom has a "short stay" entry. BNO visas are designed for those who enter England, Scotland and Wales (and sometimes Northern Ireland if it is part of their itinerary). It's not that hard to get a visit. British National Overseas visa can be obtained by filling out an application with your travel agency, your airline company or the nearest British embassy in your country. However, what many people do not know is you can apply for a BNO visa independently! This is especially good news for travellers who live in countries where there are no British embassies nearby or do not want to go through the trouble of asking companies they work with to issue a visa as part of their tour.

 

It is important to note that a British National Overseas (BNO) visa is designed for those who want to visit the country for less than 6 months and do not need long-term residence rights on British soil (in other words, it's time to see Europe and go because you will not settle there). If you want to stay longer or work in Britain, we recommend getting a different type of visa (where you can find all the information on our website). It should be noted that if one of your main reasons for visiting England is education; then this short stay will become even shorter since such visas usually allow only 5 days to study! This means that whoever wants to continue his studies should seek alternative options. Hopefully, this article will help you decide whether or not it is worth your while to apply for BNO visa application.

 

Note: Don't worry about any immigration cases or visa issues; request a callback. Our assessment team respond to your callback request and schedule a call as soon as possible.

  • Evidence that accommodation has been booked or will be booked during a stay in UK/Schengen area.
  • If the applicant is travelling as a member of a tourist group, he/she should produce a confirmation from the tour leader stating this.

British National Overseas Visa for Family members 

BNO passport holders can also apply for BNO Visa for their family members who normally live with them including:

  • spouse, civil partner or unmarried partner
  • child (under the age of 18)
  • an adult child born on or after 1 July 1997 (and their spouse, or child under the age of 18)
  • other family members (parent, grandparent, brother, sister, son or daughter) in exceptional circumstances where there is a high level of dependency

If so, your family members can apply to join you on a BNO visa. You must be over the age of 18 and have either a BNO citizen or an adult child of one as your partner. During the application process, they will need to prove that they are in a civil partnership or marriage that’s recognised in the UK or a serious relationship with you for at least 2 years.

Your partner can then live with you here without needing any separate permission from us. They won’t need to make another application if their circumstances change while they are here – for example, if their relationship ends or changes. This is because we consider them as part of your household when making decisions about their future immigration status unless there are exceptional circumstances that mean it would not be reasonable to do so (for example where there has been domestic violence). We will take into account all relevant factors before reaching our decision - including any evidence provided by your partner and information given during interviews with both partners together and separately.

 

Residency Requirements for British National Overseas

If applying from outside the UK, the applicant and their family members must normally live in Hong Kong.

If applicants are already in the UK, then they must normally live in the UK, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, or Hong Kong.

  • the income they get from a current job in the UK (including self-employment)
  • any other income like rental income
  • offers of support or accommodation from friends or family

 

Evidence includes:

  • bank statements
  • letters from friends or family with evidence they have the money to support

These documents must be in English, or the original language with a certified English translation. Ring us today to speak to one of our specialist solicitors for further guidance and legal advice.

You won’t need to meet this requirement if you’ve been living in the UK for more than a year when you apply.

 

TB Test Certificate
