UK vows to extend visa rights for Hong Kong citizens #UK #Hongkong #Visa #China

In a joint statement with the USA, Canada & Australia, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab expressed "deep concern" over the proposed legislation that would allow China to set up intelligence bases in Hong Kong.

He promised to increase the amount of time Hong Kong British Nationals Overseas (BNO) passport holders can stay visa-free in the UK from six months to 12, with a possible "pathway" to becoming British citizens thereafter.
