The UK government has relaxed Partner Rules for its British National Overseas (BNO) visa scheme, making it easier for Hong Kongers to bring their partners when applying to emigrate. Previously, partners needed to prove two years of cohabitation, but now they only need to show an ongoing commitment to each other. The move comes as Hong Kong prepares to introduce more sweeping security legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law. Over 191,000 people have already applied for the Bno Visa Scheme, and the relaxation of partner rules is expected to encourage more applications.
