Successive immigration laws separated nationality from the right to live in the country, before the 1983 nationality reforms embedded those distinctions in separate citizenship categories. From BDTC and BN(O) status to the nationality selection scheme and the 2021 visa route, this history reveals how Britain has defined its responsibilities towards Hongkongers. Today\u2019s route offers a path to settlement, while requiring families to meet residence, language and other eligibility requirements before securing stronger rights."}
