• Universities in England charge Hong Kong BNO Visa holders who have been continously residing in England for 3 years and or less overseas/international fee status (currently on average ~£22,200/Year) from 04/10/2023 until 23:59:59 01/01/2025 GMT.

Additional Notes:

• Basically it will resolve as "yes" if England adopts a policy similar to Scotland's policy regarding BNO Visa holders' fee status in Scottish universities, which allows for home/local fee status after being ordinarily resident in Scotland (usually acheived after 3 years of continuous residency) and "no" if otherwise.

Due Diligence:

• "Free university tuition fees for BNO visa holders living in Scotland"

  • "The move will increase Higher Education accessibility for many Hong Kongers, who up until this point have been forced to pay international tuition fees at all UK universities."

  • "Currently, home fee status in the rest of the UK requires ‘settled’ status which is achieved after five years on the BNO visa."

  • "'We urge the UK Government to follow suit and offer home fee status to BNO visa holders who are resident for three years in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.'"
