<p>China has made the decision to no longer recognise BN(O) passports as valid identity
or travel documents. The UK continues to recognise valid BN(O) passports as valid
travel and identity documents.</p><p>Those wishing to apply to the BN(O) route do
not need to apply using their BN(O) passport and can apply using another valid identity
document such as a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport. Those applying
for the route will need to be able to prove they hold BN(O) status and where an individual
is unable to provide their BN(O) passport, eligibility checks can be made using historical
records held by Her Majesty’s Passport Office.</p><p>Those applying for the route
do not need to travel to the UK on their BN(O) passport, but will need another valid
travel document in order to travel from Hong Kong given the decision of the Chinese
Government not to recognise them.</p>
