    Hong Kong Veterans Settlement route

    I think this opens up route for a number of Gurkhas?


    The government’s new Hong Kong Veterans Settlement route will be open to all servicemen and women who served in the British military prior to 1 July 1997 and their family members, including a partner or spouse and dependant children.

    This will put veterans from Hong Kong on an equal footing with other members of the British armed forces who were also stationed in the territory. All those eligible will be able to apply for indefinite leave to enter, allowing them to live and work in the UK without restriction and putting them on a path to full British citizenship.

    Applications for settlement are expected to open this autumn

    Wasnt there something similar already available for Gurkhas before as well!! i remember having chat with one Nepali bartender on Lamma island telling me he had right to go to UK because his father served in British Army, he didnt take it because he liked it here in HK.. May be it was for those who wanted to move before handover like application for BNO!!

    Met with a resounding lack of interest, I gather.
