【How the Relaxation of UK Visa Regulations Affects You!】 | M

Upon most people’s first arrival to the UK, many are worried that they would not be able to adapt to the local lifestyle. However, due to the tight historical relationship between the UK and Hong Kong, there are many similarities between the two places, which makes transitioning much easier than you might initially expect. Since eligible BNO holders also require decent English abilities, they will not encounter too many difficulties in daily life communications. Even so, there are still some differences in the cultural customs between the two places, so it is important to read up on certain immigration blogs to gain a more comprehensive picture. Aside from cultural differences, there are also certain differences in terms of the financial picture, so you might be surprised at how your living budget estimations might be different from actuality. Thankfully, we have more information on that on our page, so check it out for a more detailed analysis on UK living expenses. As parents, your children are your everything. It makes sense that prospective immigrants to ponder over where their kids can attain the best education. Under the new BNO policy, children of BNO holders can attend public schools for free, which means many Hong Kong people are hoping to buy properties near these schools and find jobs in the same areas. However, this may limit your career choices, and lead to lost career opportunities. While education is a crucial part of a child’s ability to later become independent, parents should still take care of themselves as a stable source of income is necessary to support a family living in a foreign country. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate that they are able to support themselves financially in order to be granted a BNO visa. In fact, many cities in the UK offer good schools with decent living environments. To settle down in the long run, parents should first look for a job which allows them to achieve all their financial goals, then find a school for their children near the place of work. Many Hong Kongers worry about their career prospects in the UK. However, it is just as important to realise that many British employers actually highly value Hong Kong employees, as they generally give off the impression that they are reliable, hardworking, self-motivated, and have an international mindset. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shut down certain industries, specific areas of work, such as technology and healthcare, are still hungry for talent and hence there is no shortage of high-quality job opportunities. Do keep in mind though that the job search process in the UK is different from that in Hong Kong, so job seekers should know beforehand how the local recruitment market works and what vacancies are available.
