Excuse me, if you have a British National (Overseas) passport (BNO), is it considered British nationality?

British National (Overseas) Passport (BNO) is regarded as British nationality.

BNO was specially established for Hong Kong people, and the British government made a fortune through it before 1997. BNO recognizes that you are a British citizen and a Commonwealth citizen, but you are not a British citizen. Note that this difference is very big, which means that you have no right of abode in the UK. In addition, BNO status does not allow children to inherit. It's basically useless.

BNO is a passport negotiated and issued by Britain for the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong. 1984 12. China and Britain signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the question of Hong Kong. The statement said, 1997 After the return of Hong Kong, Britain no longer ruled Hong Kong. However, at that time, there were still a large number of stateless people and immigrants from Southeast Asian countries in Hong Kong, in order to solve their problems and maintain contact with Hong Kong.

On July 1987 and 1, Hong Kong and Britain began to issue new identities to Hong Kong people, namely BNO. It lasted until 1997 when Hong Kong returned to China. However, BNO cannot prove the identity of the holder. The holder of BNO is neither a British citizen nor a British citizen. BNO holders can only stay in Britain for six months.

One can't work directly in Britain, one can't enjoy local education and medical benefits, and the third has no political rights. China only recognizes it as a tourist document, but not as a certificate of nationality. So it's a British national passport. In fact, whether it is functionally or internationally recognized, it is a travel permit and is of little use.
