Dependents
家屬
NEWS 22/07/2020
BNO Holders' children who were born in 97 or later and are older than 18 years old will be able to apply if they are part of a family.
BNO持有人, 於1997年或以後出生的子女，縱使已超過18歲，該名成年子女仍可透過持有BNO的父母一同申請。
According to the letter written by the Home Secretary Priti Patel MP on 12th June 2020, "the definition of dependants so that the scheme is coherent with other areas of the Immigration Rules, ( i.e. spouse/partner and under-18 children).”
根據內政大臣 彭黛玲在2020年6月12日的信件指出，BNO方案內有關家屬的定義，將會與其他移民條例有關家屬的定義連貫一致。
This was a letter for the earlier 12-months scheme. Home Office will need to release further details for the 5-years scheme.
以下信件節錄早期內政部構思BNO的重點，當時還是十二個月的簽證。它有助了解最新公布五年簽証的未來方向。
No public funds – cannot claim any benefits
Will have to show enough savings to support oneself and family while living in the UK. The amount is yet to be decided by Home Office.
不可領取以公帑支付的社會福利 (public funds)
需要証明銀行戶口有一定的存款 ; BNO持有人銀行存款需要足夠支付本人及其家屬在英國生活所需，內政部有需要發佈更多金額細節。
It is not yet clear whether citizenship for dependants will be by registration or naturalisation. If dependents aged 18 or over are required to naturalise, then they would need to sit an Exam on Life in the UK and English language. Under 18 and over 65 are exempted from the test.
現階段BNO家屬獲取公民資格的程序(註冊或歸化)仍未落實細節 。假如最後決定十八歲以上或家屬需要歸化，該名成年家屬便需要應考《英國生活測試》及英語。十八歲以下或六十五歲以上則豁免。
