Help and Advice for HKBNO Support Groups

If you are a small voluntary group and you need support with things such as governance or fundraising, Community Voluntary Support (CVS) for your area can also help you.

Support can also be found with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, here: https://www.ncvo.org.uk/#/

We may also be able to help if you are a group supporting HKBNO. Please contact us on hkbno@emcouncils.gov.uk for advice and information on funding available for groups.

When you are granted your BN(O) visa, you will have ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF). This means that you are expected to fully support yourself through your own financial resources or income from employment.

You can apply for a ‘change of conditions’ if you lose your income, are no longer able to provide food and housing for your family and become destitute.

If you successfully apply for a change of conditions whilst you have a BNO visa, it will not impact your ability to apply for settlement through the BNO route after 5 years living in the UK.
