Introduction

Welcome to Warwickshire County Council's information and support pages for Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visa holders.

The UK Government's Hong Kong Welcome Programme has now come to an end. As a result, Warwickshire County Council's dedicated Hong Kong BNO Coordinator role will conclude in October 2026.

Although the national programme has ended, Warwickshire County Council remains committed to supporting Hong Kong BNO residents living in Warwickshire. Support will continue until March 2027; however, the level of assistance available will be more limited than that previously provided through the Welcome Programme.

Until March 2027, the Migration Team will continue to offer:

  • ESOL for Employment provision.
  • Information and updates through these webpages.
  • Updates and community information through our Hong Kong Facebook pages and mailing list.

Please note that the previous Hong Kong BNO email inbox is no longer monitored. If you need to contact us, please use the Migration Team email address - migration@warwickshire.gov.uk

We recognise that many Hong Kong residents have established strong networks and connections within Warwickshire. In addition to the support provided by the council, there are a range of local community organisations and services that may be able to offer advice, activities, social connections and practical assistance. Details of these organisations can be found in our community support section.

For information about support available following the end of the Welcome Programme, please read our final Hong Kong BNO newsletter, which provides details of ongoing services, community resources and other sources of advice and support.
