The two idiots rushed to London after hearing that “BNO holders are eligible for UK visas”. However, they were refused entry to the United Kingdom by border control when they entered the country, according to the UK Daily Mail 7. According to the UK’s Daily Mail 7, the two BNO passport holders had to apply for political asylum if they wanted to enter the UK, otherwise they would be sent back to Hong Kong.
In July, the British government announced the opening of “special visas” for BNO passport holders. From January 2021 onwards, Hong Kong people holding BNO passports would be granted five-year visas with the right to work and study in the UK, subject to meeting other criteria. Before the special visa comes into effect, BNO passport holders are still entitled to a 6-month visa-free entry into the UK as in the past. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the two Hong Kong nationals have the right to enter the UK, even though they are unable to work and pursue long-term studies for six months. Up to now, the UK border control has not given any reasonable explanation for refusing the entry of these two people into the UK. The UK Border Agency’s recommendation of “applying for political asylum” is not a good option for these two people, as they will not be able to work in the UK and their other rights to remain in the country will be affected once they enter as “political evaders”.
The first idiot to be refused entry flew to London immediately after the British Foreign Secretary announced a “special visa for BNO holders”. The UK Daily Mail revealed his conversation with the UK border checkpoint in his own words.
UK Border Control: If you are unable to enter the UK, we will send you back to your home country.
The person who was refused entry: Please don’t do that, please help me, because if I go back to Hong Kong, I will be in immediate danger.
The Hong Kong resident who was refused entry also told the border control that if he was deported, the Hong Kong government would charge him with “disloyalty” and he would even be arrested upon landing in Hong Kong.
Compared to the first BNO passport holder who was refused entry, the description of the second rejected person is even more exaggerated and dramatic from the reports and self-reports.
This person, who claimed to be working in the IT industry in Hong Kong, said that his grandfather was a secret agent of the Kuomintang (KMT) in Hong Kong and left his family some “secret documents against the Chinese Communist Party”, and that he came to the UK to escape danger.
The rejected man said he had sent them to some foreign intelligence agencies, but since Hong Kong’s National Security Law came into force, he had “destroyed all his copies” out of fear, and would not show them to anyone. Therefore, the report could not confirm the existence and contents of these documents.
Now, the latest Home Office announcement on entry requirements for BNO holders is that those who entered the UK before the “special visa route for BNO holders” was opened, but do not meet the immigration requirements, can only obtain a short term visa with severely restricted rights of abode.
In other words, if they cannot be allowed to enter the UK normally, they will have to return to Hong Kong and try to re-enter the UK in January next year if they wish to obtain a long term visa for the two BNO passport holders who have been refused entry to the UK.
