英國國民(海外)簽證(BNO Visa)即將開放

英國國民(海外)簽證(BNO Visa)將於2021年1月31日開放 隨著本週末新簽證種類的開放,本文將帶您快速了解什麼是BNO簽證,誰可以申請BNO簽證以及您需要什麼申請資料: 什麼是BNO簽證? 該簽證類型是專為英國國民(海外)及其近親屬可以入境英國並長期居留設計的。在此類簽證類型下的申請人滿足所有移民法要求,就可以申請英國永久居留權和英國國籍。您可以點擊這裡閱讀有關此簽證的更多信息。 誰可以申請BNO簽證? 如果您是英國國民(海外)或其家庭成員,就可以申請BNO簽證。家庭成員是指通常與您同住的人。這包括您的配偶、民事伴侶或未婚伴侶;您的孩子(18歲以下);您的成年子女(在1997年7月1日或之後出生,及其配偶,以及其18歲以下的子女)。以及滿足某些條件的其他家庭成員,但前提是他們和您來自同一個家庭並且對您有高度依賴性。申請人需要滿足移民局的各項要求,例如居住和資金要求來申請該簽證。 我需要申請什麼文件? 如果您沒有有效的英國國民(海外)護照,主申請人將需要您的英國國民(海外)身份證明,例如您的護照,以及有效的香港特別行政區護照才能前往英國。 您和您的家人還需要提供您在香港居住的證明,如果您已經在英國,則還需要提供在英國、澤西島、根西島、馬恩島的居住證明。 此外,您需要提供足夠的資金和住宿證明,以支持您和家庭成員在英國居住至少六個月。您可以提交銀行對帳單以顯示您有現金存款可用。其他收入證明,這包括您在英國的帶薪工作(例如,如果您已經在英國),投資或租金收入等。您還可以提供來自朋友或家人的支持信,表明他們可在您抵達英國時為您提供住宿。 如果居住在香港,在香港提交申請,則您還需要提供在申請前六個月內頒發的無肺結核證明。如果您已經在入境時根據LOTR被允許入境英國,也需要提供經批准的診所提供的無肺結核證明。兒童和孕婦也需要提供結無肺結核證明,但他們可能不需要進行胸部X光檢查。您可以在此處找到經移民局批准的診所信息。  我可以申請英國永久居留和英國國籍嗎? 一旦您和您的家人在這里居住了5年,只要您滿足定居的法律要求,BNO簽證是允許您在英國定居的。您需要證明自己的英語水平、對英國的了解程度,並且符合居住條件。 如果您已經在英國持有允許定居的簽證種類,例如Tier 2 /技術人才簽證,則可以將已經在英國居住的時間計入5年的居住要求。請注意,只有允許定居的簽證種類才能計入5年期限。因此,任何Tier 4/學生簽證或Tier 5簽證持有人都不能根據在這些簽證種類下在英國停留的時間申請永居。家屬申請人只有在主申請人已經申請永居,並有資格獲得永居時才能申請永居。 在英國定居12個月並符合英國入籍要求後,申請人即可申請加入英國國籍。 我們可以提供的幫助? 泰漢律師事務所的移民團隊協助眾多客戶成功獲得英國簽證和英國國籍。如果您在申請過程中需要法律意見,或者想進一步了解BNO簽證,請立即致電020 7427 5972漢律師事務所的移民團隊聯繫,或在此處留言諮詢。您也可以通過Facebook, LinkedIn 和 Twitter關注我們,了解更多英國移民資訊。
