British National (Overseas) BN(O) Visa Services
We provide specialist legal advice and representation for individuals and families applying under the British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) route, from initial entry clearance to settlement and British citizenship.
The BN(O) route is designed to allow eligible Hong Kong residents and their family members to live, work, and study in the UK. While the route is intended to be flexible, applications are frequently delayed or refused due to misunderstandings about eligibility, family relationships, or documentation requirements. Our role is to ensure that applications are properly assessed, evidenced, and presented in line with the Immigration Rules and Home Office guidance.
We advise and act for:
- BN(O) status holders applying from overseas or within the UK
- Immediate family members, including spouses, partners, and dependent children
- Adult children and other household members applying under the BN(O) Household Member route
- Families with complex living arrangements or dependency histories
- Our BN(O) services include
- We provide end-to-end support, including:
- Assessment of BN(O) status and family eligibility
- Advice on the most appropriate application route and timing
- Preparation and submission of entry clearance and in-country applications
- Evidencing household membership, dependency, and residence requirements
- Advice on switching, extensions, and continuous residence

- Advice following refusal, including administrative review or fresh applications

Why choose Elite Immigration?
Where applicants already hold UK immigration permission, we also advise on whether switching into the BN(O) route is appropriate, and the long-term implications for settlement.
Why legal advice matters
Although the BN(O) route is not points-based, applications are still assessed against detailed rules and guidance. Errors or omissions can result in refusal, loss of fees, or disruption to family life. We ensure that applications are prepared with clear legal reasoning, consistent evidence, and a coherent narrative that reflects the applicant’s circumstances.
