बिएनओ पासपोर्ट होल्डरलाई बेलायती नागरिकता
January 14th, 2010
एस, हङकङ / एचकेनेपाल डट कम-
बेलायत सरकारले बिएनओ पासपोर्ट होल्डर नेपालीलाई बेलायती नागरिकताका लागि निवेदन दिन पुनः आह्वान गरेको छ।
ब्रिटिश राष्ट्रियता अधिनियम 1981 धारा 4B का अनुसार बिएनओ राहदानीवाहक नेपालीले बेलायती नागरिकताका लागि आवेदन दिन सक्ने छन्।
बेलायत सरकारले ब्रिटिश राष्ट्रियता अधिनियम 1981 धारा 4B अन्तर्गतको पंजीकरणमा परिवर्तन ल्याएपछि पछिल्लो पटक यो जानकारी सार्वजनिक भएको हो। हङकङस्थित ब्रिटिश महावाणिज्य दूतावासले जनवरी १३ तारिखदेखि लागु हुने गरी तलको सूचना सार्वजनिक गरिएको छ।
Changes to registration under section 4B of the British Nationality Act 1981
The Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill, which received Royal Assent on 21 July, will introduce certain changes to British nationality law.
One of the changes in the Act will allow British Nationals (Overseas) to be registered under section 4B of the British Nationality Act 1981 if they do not hold any other citizenship or nationality.
This change will come into force following a commencement order on 13 January 2010.
What are the requirements for BN(O)s to register under section 4B of the British Nationality Act 1981?
1.You must not hold any other citizenship or nationality.
2.You must not have:
• renounced any citizenship or nationality; or
• voluntarily given up any citizenship or nationality; or
• lost through action or inaction any citizenship or nationality since 19 March 2009.
3.BN(O)s of Chinese ethnic origin are entitled to Chinese nationality and do not qualify.
How do I apply?
Applications should be made on form B(OS) which can be downloaded from the UK Border Agency (UKBA) website.
Further information on how to complete the form, and the requirements for registration can be found in Guide B(OS), which is also on the UKBA website.
If you meet the requirements and wish to submit an application, please call 2901 3135 to book an appointment. We will send a letter to confirm the appointment date. The appointment letter will include an application form, a guide to the legislation and a list of documents needed to support the application. The appointment letter will also be needed when making the application.
Any applicant who does not have an appointment will not be able to submit an application.
What information do I need to provide with the application?
1. Evidence that you are a British National (Overseas). This should be:
Your BN(O) passport
2. Documentary evidence that you have no other citizenship or nationality:
a letter from the country in which you were born saying whether you have ever held that country’s citizenship or nationality; and
if either of your parents holds another (non-British) citizenship or nationality: a letter from the authorities of the country concerned saying whether you have ever held that country’s citizenship or nationality; and
if you have lived for a period of five years or more in any other country: a letter from the authorities of the country of residence saying whether you have ever held that country’s citizenship or nationality.
If your parents hold different non-British citizenships or nationalities, or if either of them holds more than one citizenship or nationality, you will need to get letters of confirmation from all of the countries concerned. Similarly, if you have lived for 5 years or more in more than one country, you will need to get letters of confirmation from all of the countries concerned.
You should make sure that you have all the above information before attending your appointment. If you do not supply all the necessary information, you will be told what further information is required and asked to make another appointment once you have enough information to establish that you meet the requirements for registration under section 4B.
You should provide original documents - photocopies are not acceptable. Please also provide translations of documents that are not in English.
Holders of Nepalese Certificate of citizenship
If you meet all the criteria above but hold a Nepalese Certificate of Citizenship, you will be assumed to be a citizen of Nepal and will not qualify. However, if you consider that your Nepalese Certificate of Citizenship was issued to you in error and feel that you do qualify to be registered as a British citizen, you should first obtain written evidence from the Nepalese authorities confirming that your certificate was issued in error and you were never considered to be a Nepalese citizen.
The Consular Section can help you obtain this information from the Nepalese authorities by providing you with a letter explaining your former British nationality status up to its expiry on 1 July 1997. This is so that the Nepalese authorities can decide the legal effect (if any) of your Nepalese citizenship certificate. However, this letter is not obligatory and there is a charge for it.
For all 4B applications
From 13 January 2010, all 4B applications are by appointment only. Any applicant who does not have an appointment will not be able to submit an application.

14. Robin | January 15th, 2010 at 5:09 am
Well guys, There are some positive parts eg. benefits, children education, GP etc. However there are some negative parts aswell, specially to people from Hong Kong. In many ways like social life, fresh foods and most importantly weather. currently i’ve been leaving in UK togather with my family since 07 but with my experienced i found very difficult to adapt with weather and surroundings enviroment. Gradually everything have been on track as time goes on. On my point of view, i am here for sake of children education, thinking it’ll be more helpful for coming future.
For all that, if anyone decide to migrate, i suggest you to think twice regarding all the factors before make any decision.
15. Samu | January 15th, 2010 at 5:14 am
Very good apportunity for those who qualify to apply but to be honest, life will be miserable for those people who are having satisfactory living in Hong Kong. Living in the UK is so tough and people will hardly manage to have social and leisure time. It is good for children, elderly above 65 and disables who can survive on benefit. Government tax and the costly living are the main reason people have to struggle for ever. This is not the dicouragement message for people who are willing to apply for British citizenship instead this is an advice to think carefully before you go for it. In the end its entirely up to you what you choose. Best of lucks to every one.
16. Binod Thapa | January 15th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Dear All,
It is a good news that we (BN(O)), holders can apply for the British Citizenship provided that we satisfy the requirements stated by the British government. People have argued for and against applying for the British Citizenship. I personally am going to apply for one and I would also suggest all (freinds, family members, relatives and all). Becuase what I believe is that, just becuase you have a British Citizenship does not mean that you have to be living in UK. But if you have a British citizenship it will always be an option for you, should any unfortunate events take place to us (non-chinese) people here in HK. It is always good idea to have options and avenues open for us. That is my personal feeling. I do not plan to move to UK and live there becuase it has taken us more than a decade to settle down here in HK. If we go to UK then we might have to waste another decade or so to settle down. But it sure would be a good option if you need one.
By the way, I heard that Nepalse Consulate can help us get a letter stating that we got our Nepalese Citizenship by error. Can anyone tell us more on this?
Thank you
17. Makura | January 15th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Dear Sathi Ho,
Help, Help, Help
I called this morning to British consulate and enquired about the news. She told me to get 2 letters before making appointment. First get letter from HK immigration stating you have not obtained any SAR passport and second one to get letter from Nepal consulate stating your citizenship was issued in error. Then i called Nepal consulate and they told me that they haven’t issued any such letter so far and can’t verify the authenticity of such document if someone has one. So please let me know how and from where to get such letter. Actually British consulate should not have asked BNO passport holders such letter as our Nepalese citizenship was lost on the day we have acquired BNO passport that is around 1995 or 96. So please any one has any such information regarding this letter please help our community.

Hi all, This is god news for those who has got his/her family in the UK especially those who has got younger children who can be benefitted for eduction.
Its takes a while to settle in and life is not easy in the UK and you guys need to prepare mentally and physically to established in the UK.
Any way take a chance when you have one and wish you all the best.
19. tom gurung | January 15th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
some people have commented their views very throughly. I myself would like to add something. I have been living in the uk since 2003.
life here can be very difficult for adults because you do not socialiase with kuires. there are a number of factors like having
limited english lanuage knowledge,kuires speaking slangs,their
tongue being very different from what you expect so you easily get put off by their language,nepalese people can’t go to club and behave like english people. i mean we can go to club but can’t spend money and time just for the sake of clubbing. these kuires
change their partener almost everyday while we have traditional
norms and values. you may think that you possess enough
language skill to get by everyday needs but you are likely to
face a lot of criticism because of your accent.
my own wife fled the uk citing so many difficulties. she is in hk
enjoying sun, night market ,lively city,chinese food. i am here alone
trying to make something good out of this situation. what i firmly believe is children can at least pick up their accent while we are too old to put on some fake accent and our concise doesn’t
allow that.it is true that finding job in the uk is hard because it
has been flooded by east european countries.there are 9 lakh polish people alone and because of reccession they are returning
home. because of strong police currency.guys this is my honest assessment of the uk. if u are fool hardy like me and prepared
to overcome all the barriers,come to the uk or if u think you have decent life in hk but do not care about your kids,stay where you are. either way decisons are not easy to make.
20. Binod Thapa | January 15th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Thank you Makura (Comment No. 17)
I think getting a letter from the HKSAR Gov, verifying that we do not possses any HKSAR passport is not a problem…
I think the major problem here is getting a letter from the Nepali Gov. varifying that we have taken up Nepali citizenship by error could be a problem…. and I suspect the Nepalese consulate is not trying to be helpful.
Does anyone have any ideas regarding this?
Please help us find a solution.
By the way, I would suggest all the eligible persons to appply for the british citizenship and have options ready for your future.

I think this is the great oppurtunity of earning the money by nepalese consulate or nepalese government. Any document can be made but you need to supply the demand from them, thats the way it works in nepal. So guys spend some more money besides application form to british consulate.
25. Makura | January 16th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Dear Ganesh ( No24)
There is no way that we need to bribe chore Bahuns back in Nepal if we need any document. I am not going to do that. Nepal consulate here must coperate with us and solve the problem faced by Nepalese.

Hi All BN(O) holders,
First of all congratulation for your right to British Citizenship.
I want to make few comments on this latest change in UK Immigration rules that relates to your BN(O).
1) This amended rule will allow all BN(O) holders who were restricted to apply BC due to residency issue.
2) According to Nepalese citizenship law, your Nepalese citizenship card and passport is already invalid from the date when you acquire BN(O). Check the link below, that should help you to verify that you no more hold any citizenship. I would suggest you to consult this letter with Nepalese/British consulate. See the link below.
http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B28ZeRaKocj2MmU0NTVlNGEtMmRmOC00MDk3LTg4YWQtMzg0MmFjZjkzNDlk&hl=en
3) Disadvantages of BN(O): As a BN(O) holder you are stateless that means you have no rights of citizenship in any country. From the date you acquire BN(O) all your Nepalese documents are invalid by Nepali Law and if you are still using them that is illegal.
4) Getting British Citizenship does not mean you must go to the UK. As you can see comments above there are so many pros and cons living in UK. But end of the day, if some disaster happens on you in HK or any part of the world UK Government is there to rescue you.
5) You will have few hassle to go anywhere in the world if you love traveling.
These are my sole comments and I have put this here thinking that it might help you. I am not solicitor nor I am law practitioner.
I hope you may find this helpful!
Please update how things goes on your side!

33. Makura | January 18th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Dear Mekh D Gurung ji,
First of all, thank you for the valuable information you have posted. I knew that any nepalese citizen once acquired the foreign citizen wouldd lost the Nepalese citizen on the date he or she acquired such citizenship. So we ceased to be a nepalese national at around 1995 or 1996. Nepalese consulate letter you have posted also mentioned the same thing. However the British consulate told me that letter must mentioned the individual name in detail and must also mentioned that citizenship was issued in errorl. I am not sure whether Nepalese consulate will write a letter to inividual stating such things. We need more information and any useful suggestions are most welcome.

Dear All,
I think getting a letter from the HKSAR Gov. stating that we do not poses any HKSAR passport would not be of any trouble.
Problem could be acquiring a letter from Nepali Gov. stating that we got our citizenship by error. I would like to ask, why would Nepalese consulate be unwilling to help us?
Does that mean we again have to do the under the table deal to get our documents?
I would suggest that we should not bribe them if we are eligible for getting that document.
By the way, there are about 100 or so Nepali organisation here in HK, why are they quite?
All you so called social organisation only know how to indulge yourselves in BBQ parties and so on…. this, I think is a good opportunity for you all to move your butt and work for the Nepalese community.
Regarding comment no. 34, I think there are a couple of Lawyers and consultancies here, may be they could be kind enough and translate the rules, regulations and the requirements to us, who do not understand the technical terms involved.
By the way, any development in getting the document from the consulate?
Thanx…
37. Makura | January 19th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Dear Binod ji,
I also went to Nepalese consulate today to know whether they will issue any such letter. I didn’t get the positive reply. I think all Nepalese organisation here must voiced their concern to the consular general. After all it is the problem of all hong kong born nepalese. I know we can get this document from Nepal if we spend couple of thousand HK $. But i am not in a position to do that if it is possible to issue from here. I also request HK Nepal and other nepalese media in HK to relay our message to Nepalese consulate, Hong Kong nepalese Maha sagh and all other assotiation. Please don’t just engage in BBQ and sometimes do the things for benefit of all nepalese.
Dear Hem Limbu ji
please voice your conern on behalf of all HK based nepalese.
Jaya Gurkhas & Jaya all Hong Kong Nepalese

Dear Friends,
I think, I have an idea. I am a magar, so I will call the chairman of Magar Association, Hong Kong, if there is anything they are trying to do.
Mr. Makura, if it is possible then I think we should call our respective associations like, Magar Samaj, Tamu Samaj, Rai Samaj, Limbu Samaj etc and tell them to act for us.
Again, I believe if the Nepalese Consulate can write this letter
http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B28ZeRaKocj2MmU0NTVlNGEtMmRmOC00MDk3LTg4YWQtMzg0MmFjZjkzNDlk&hl=en
to the British Consulate then why should they have difficulty in issueing individual letter to us?
Let us work together and get what we deserve.
Thank YOu

Makura/Binod/Dev ji & all BNO holders,
I think British consulate themselves are confused with BNO and people who does not hold BNO but were born in HK before 30 June 1976. This second category people are entitled BC but they need to prove that Nepalese documents were issued in error but for BNOs Nepali documents (passport/citizenship card) are automatically void after acquiring BNO according to Nepalese citizenship law.
If you personally go to British consulate with above letter and try to explain them things may turn to your favor because you must be talking to receptionist who may not know on which basis you are applying to.
If you have done so please update what they say. Otherwise we need to lobby with Nepal/British consulate about this matter and I asked one organisation president to help on this matter.
43. Makura | January 21st, 2010 at 8:28 am
Dear Mekh D Gurung Ji,
I went to British consulate with the letter you have posted on internet issued by Nepalese consulate and talked with concerned authority there. I showed them the letter but he said they do not recognize that letter. We should get the letter mentioning our personal particulars and the letter must mentioned that our citizenship was issued in error. He kept on insisting on his position and then i thought it is useless to keep on arguing. Then he advised me to get one standard letter from British consulate which might help us to get (issued in error ) letter from relevant authority in Nepal. I also found some dicrepancy in requirement for BNO holders to get British ciizenship in website posted at British consulate and UK border agency.
Can you please check UK border agency website and read registration as a british citizen Guide B (OS). This Guide B(OS) has not mentioned anything about issued in error letter. Then why British consulate here is making requirement more complicated.
I think no organsation are helping us with this issue so far. If you have some influential leader then please ask him to lobby for us.
Thanks for your ongoing support .

Dear all,
मेरो नाम डमर थापा हो| गएको वर्ष , धन्न धन्न ३ बर्षको निरन्तर प्रयास र Lord Avebury र Tameem Ebrahim को अतिनै महत्तो पूर्ण सहयोग बाट, ब्रिटिश नागरिकता पाउन सफल भए | म १९९६ को अन्त मा हंग कंग आइ पुगेको थिए र मेरो BN(O) Registration Application १९९७ मा reject भएको थियो| तसर्थ मेरो BN(O) passport थिएन|
BN(O) बिनाको म जस्तो BOC को लागि नेपाल सरकारले BN(O) को लागि जस्तो बकाइदा पत्र ब्रिटिश सरकार लाइ पठाएको छैन, तसर्थ २००६ को अन्तमा मेरो British Citizenship registration application को बेला British Consulate-General ले यसरीनै नेपाल बाट यस्तै पत्र हुनु पर्छ भनेर जिद्दी गर्यो | Lord Avebury र Tameem Ebrahim को सल्लाहा अनुसार मैले पनि मेरो application लिनु नै पर्ने भनेर जिद्दी गरे, र application लिइयो पनि | तर application होम अफिस ले reject गर्यो |
Reject भए पछि Lord Avebury र Tameem Ebrahim को निरन्तर सहयोग बाट होम अफिस लाइ अदालत मा पुर्याउन सफल भए , तर अदालत मा पनि होम अफिस ले आफ्नो साचो रंग देखाउन पछी परेन| तसर्थ अदालत को कार्य जारि गर्न पाउने अनुमति हुदा हुदै पनि अदालत प्रक्रिया छाडन पर्ने बाध्यता गर्यो|
तर मैले देखेको अनुसार, BN(O) को हकमा नेपाल बाट बकाइदा को पत्र भएको कारण, अदालत मै गए पनि होम अफिस को साथमा तेती ठुलो बल छैन | तर स्मरण रहोस - नेपाल बाट गल्ति पत्र ल्याउनु भन्दा केहि पनि नल्याउनु नै राम्रो, नत्र बादर लाइ लिस्नो हुनेछ |
अन्य detail को लागि google मा bornbefore76inhongkong लाइ search गर्नु होला | Lord Avebury को personal blog मा पनि धेरै detail पाउन सक्नु हुन्छ |
I wish you all the best of luck.

Dear all,
Please see Lord Avebury’s recent blog on BN(O)s of Nepalese origin.
For some unknown reasons, I cannot post the URL (link) of the blog here (I appreciate if HKnepal.com team could take a look on this problem!).
What British Consulate-General in Hong Kong has asked from the applicant - apply Chinese passport - is totally unacceptable and irresponsible request. Is there a length Home Office won’t go in preventing the BN(O)s of Nepalese origin from excersing their rights?
With regards,
Damar
52. Makura | January 27th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Dear all,
Dev Ji , Damar Ji & all BNO holders,
I think British consulate has changed its policy . May be afte getting pressure from Mr Lord Avebury. We no longer required to submit letter from HK Immigration for refusal of SAR passport. We only need to get citizenship issued in error letter from Nepal.
To get that letter, Firtst get standard letter from British consulate at cost of HK $470.Then go to Nepal consulate and apply for error letter to your respective CDO office. They will give you a letter as well and then send it to Nepal. Your relative or friend can do that one in Nepal. However as far as i know there is no official announcement for any CDO to issue that letter for any HK born Nepalese.However they might do so on your personal link , political pressure or under othe circumtances. Remember it is not obligatory (Legally binding) for CDO’s to issue that letter but totally depends on his personal judgement. Money might plays a vital role if you don’t have any of these things. Nepal ko kanun, Bhagbhan le Janun bhancha tehi ho.
By the way Damar Ji how can i see Lord Avebury blog on our issue.
Thank you

56. Mekh D Gurung | January 30th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Damar Ji,
Thanks for keeping the information up to date with all BNO holders. I hope Lord Avebury and Tameem Ebrahim’s effort to this BNO issue will be settled once and for all sooner rather than later.
Makura ji and all, for the issuance of your citizenship in error I totally disagree with getting the letter from Nepal Government. All those said standard letter/error in Nepalese citizenship was for BOC who were born before June 1976 and did not apply or unable to get BNO.
I know you may get it as you said from source/force in Nepal but according to Nepalese citizenship law you had right to Nepalese citizenship at the time of application because of ANCESTRY. That was NOT issued in error. You got BNO because you were born here. That was sequential and nothing was wrong in the procedure. Once you acquired BNO your Nepalese citizenship was automatically renounced by law.
I spoke to Nepalese consulate today and he do agree with what I said above. They don’t understand why British consulate is asking that letter as everything was clearly mentioned in August 2007 letter. See my link above.
Every problem comes with resolution so I think better wait for it. Right to HK passport is resolved now so, hope for resolution to Nepalese citizenship in error as well.
Best of luck to all BNO holders.
Mekh
57. Dev | January 31st, 2010 at 6:05 am
Yes i also dont understand why Brit Gov want that letter. It is clear from that letter that BNO automatically lost Nepali after getting BNO then why??? Even in Home Office freedom of info website there is about Nepalese law which was mail from HK to Home office, UK, their internal mail which show that BNO lost nepali after 21 yrs then why?
Link:
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/freedom-of-information/released-information/foi-archive-immigration/3997-nepalese-law2835.pdf?view=Binary
I think we have to request Nep Emb, HK to write new same type of letter about BNO to Brit Emb, HK.
58. Makura | January 31st, 2010 at 8:42 am
Dear Mekh ji & Damar Ji,
I totally agreed with you that BNO holders of Nepalese origin should not have been required to get error letter. So I again went to BC 2 days ago just to convince them about it and argued with chinese lady there. Actually she was not ready to listen to me and said she doesn’t care about the contents of the letter but must mentioned the word “It was issued in error”. It looks like she was taught to say word “issued in error ” just like Suga (Pattu) in Nepal says ” Gopi Krishna Ko” . I think she was just following instruction and doing her duty. So Damar Ji you might need to raise this issue with Lord Avebury. I hope he can help us in resolving this issue as well.
Makura
59. Dev | January 31st, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Makura ji. Mekh D. Gurung ji, Dev ji Damar ji. even though you people are the only ones who have made inputs to this discussion very actively, but I am sure there are so many ppl who have gone through your inputs and have learned many things it has been really helpful. Thank you gus.
I also hope that Lord Avebury will continue his valuable support.
I happened to ask a committee member of one of the HK based Nepali organisation what they could do to help us? The reply was quite unfortunate one. He said that may be there is nothing the organisation can do. May be none of the organiation dares to ask or pressurize the Nep. consulate for the fear that consulate genenral might refuse to attend the BBQ party.
Anyways, hope we will be able to find a solution.

becareful guys there is rumor going on in nepal that they are going to impose dual citizenship in new constitution.so if u ppl wait for long then if dual citizenship is imposed then there is no way BNO ppl fit in new law imposed by british .As the law has clearly stated that you should not hold any citizenship.

I actually went through all of those comments above and came to know how excited people are to come here,not knowing how difficult it’s been here recently and it’s just a suggestion of mine wether u take it seriously or lightly but life in uk has been miserable for everyone who’s just arrived here and the main reason for it is ofcourse the recession uk’s going through though there are other major and minor factors like communication langauge,(how good u’re but u’ll get nervous once kuires start their english and u’ll be like ooh aah ummm)difficult to find a job(honestly,i m on my 7 month trying to find a job lol sounds funny but it’s true)whereas weather’s not suitable for us nepalese(u sometimes feel like u’re on top of Mt Everest at some point for few months) but it’s good for people who are disable,older than 65 or kids as someone did mention it above.!Having said this i still believe Uk’s not a bad place to be in…!Life needs a bit of change wether if it’s for good or bad

First of all I would like to thank’s u all who made comment and suggestion about B N O and who want to apply for British Citizenship .Actuly I am also BNO passport holder who want to apply for British Citizenship.I am confused about the way we think what we think is that and what we do we need result as soon as.Basicaly it will be hard to surive if you don’t bileve yourself just we look ourself have we ever think that we will be in here whithout knowing that how we surive in this busy place.At last we surive by hard working and hopping that our future genaration will be better,pepared than us.So maybe at the beginning we fell helpless,hopeless but if you are hard working you can surive anywehere in this world.And how about our grandpa,father and brother’s sweat and blood whom they scarifice to United Kingdom.So if we can surive her why? we can’t surive in UK.

Being a part of this commenter can you give your personal opinion and ways to others who are still on puzzle to go ahead? pls share to us and you will be really appreciated. thanks,

Comment No 69
Dear Raj Ji
After completing 5 years lawful stay from your BNO in UK you can apply for British citizenship there. You don’t need to come back to Hong Kong for submitting your application.
Comment no 73
Dear Kish ji,
It looks like that you do not posses BNO and British consulate does not issue any more BNO. So you can not get BNO passport.
However if you are born in Hong Kong before 1982 Dec 31, you are entitled for British citizenship. In order to get that one, first get one letter from CDO office in Nepal where your nepalese citizenship card was issued stating that your nepalese citizenship card was issued to you in error. Then with other supporting document you can apply in British consulate for british citizenship.
Dear Kamal Ji ( Comment no74)
If you want any information about BNO and Britsh citizenship, i am ready to share my opinion with you. It would be good that all of our community can benefit by sharing information with each other.
Thanks.

Dear Makura Ji,
thanks for concerning to help us. Makura ji i am also BNO passport holder but after 04 Feb 1997. thats why i could not apply British passport before. Recently all BNO passport holder are eligible, everyone know about it but error letter from Nepalese authority giving headache us. Do you have any idea to get it without any Broker. Those BNO holder who applied before the letter did not require. Is there any changes about this matter? pls share us.
Thanks,
Kamal
77. makura | April 23rd, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Dear Kamal ji,
As you came to hong kong only after feb 04 1997, you were not eligible to become british citizen under EMC application which does not require you to get that error letter from Nepalese authority. However recently amended British nationality law allowed all BNO passport holders to become a british citizen as you are already stateless. As per Nepalese citizenship law, Nepal does not accept dual citizenship and by birth you were British , So Nepalese law has clearly stated that you will automatically loose your nepalese citzenship upon reaching 21 years age if you have not formally renounce your british citizenship.
So upon reaching 21 years age, no matter whether you hold BNO passport or not all hong kong born nepalese have ceases to be a citizen of Nepal provided that they have not formally renounced their British ciitzenship. I guess non of our hong kong born nepalese have done so.
British Government , Home office and British consulate here is well aware of this law but i don’t know why they still insists on getting individual error letter from Nepalee authority. Normally CDO of district administrative office where you issued your Nepalese citizenship card is responsible for issuing that issued in error letter. But i heard it is very difficult to get it.
However if you are in UK and stayed there for more than 5 years legally then you might be eligible to get British citizenship without furhter documents from Nepal.
I hope you got your answer.
Thanks.
Makura
78. kamal | April 26th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Dear Makura Ji,
Thanks for your reply and i hope every BNO holder will take bold steps to go ahead. You have outstanding knowledge and if you found any amendment pls don’t forget to share with us.
Finally once again thank you very much.

देशभक्त जी,,,कुरो एकदम सोरह आनै ठीक हो तपाई को,,,,मान्छे आफ्नो आफ्नो मनोबृति को हुन्छ,आफ्नै तरीका ले बाच्न मन पराउछ | यु के जाने बसने नेपाली समुदाय ले नि आफ्नो र संतति को राम्रो भबिश्य देखे होलान र त दुख ले आर्जेको सम्पति खनाये खैरे को देश मा,,,तर थोत्रे घर भए नि जन्मेको घर प्यारो र माया लाग्छ त्यों त बिदेस बस्ने जो सुकै बिदेशी लाई लाग्छ नै चाहे त्यों जो कोई देश को नागरिक होस |होस गर्ने के कुरो भने “घर फूटे गवार लुटे”
