British Nationals (Overseas) Welcome programme
People with British National (Overseas) visa status in Hong Kong can now move to the UK. This is for people from Hong Kong and their dependants who would like to live, study or work in the UK on a pathway to citizenship.
The West Midlands Welcome Hub has been set up to support people who arrive from Hong Kong on the British Nationals Overseas visa.
You can access support information from the West Midlands Welcome Hub.
The British Government also has an online Welcome Pack for all new arrivals. This information has been translated into Cantonese, and explains how to manage life in the UK. You can find further information through the gov.uk website.
Staffordshire County Council has a proud history of helping those who have arrived in our county seeking sanctuary, rights and freedoms.
We are working with the British government and our partners to help people from Hong Kong to successfully settle into life into Staffordshire
