- Significant support among the public for the government’s proposal to offer Hong Kongers that hold British National Overseas (BNO) Passports and their dependents a bespoke five-year visa, with the pathway to later apply for full UK citizenship.
- Over two in five Brits (42%) express support for the government having made this offer, with just one in four (25%) expressing any opposition. Support for this offer is higher among those Brits who say they are familiar with recent events in Hong Kong, with half (50%) expressing outright support.
- When Brits are faced with a range of hypothetical resettlement schemes, the government’s offer received only slightly higher levels of support than offering BNOs and their dependents full UK citizenship, circumventing the 5 years of residency qualification.
