BN(O) 移英前需要做哪些準備

英國政府正式推出BN(O簽證, 持有BNO港人及家人於2021年1月起可移居英國,住滿5+1年後就有資格申請入英籍,成為英國公民。來英國前當然需要做一些功課。 簽證 移英前首先要考慮的當然是簽證問題。在1997年6月30日或之前的香港人,如果曾申請過BNO,便擁有BNO資格。今有英國政府宣布,BNO持有人有的配偶或法律認可的伴侶包括未結婚的伴侶可以一同申請過英國。如果BNO持有人有18歲以下子女和需要高度照顧的親屬,那麼子女和親屬也可以一同申請。今次英國沒有,英文試合格要求,你不懂英文都可過英國。但要求要有願意學英文的心態。他日申請永居及入籍是五、六年後的事,那時面試都要求有良好英語水平。 住所 身在異國,最需要解決的就是住宿問題。簡單來說分為買房和租房。住宿環境安不安全、價格合不合理都是非常重要的。為了幫助大家在英國找到靠譜的房子,給大家推薦幾個在英國租房子或買房時會用到的網站。Rightmove,Gumtree,SpareRoom,Zoopla。長遠來看,如果打算在英國長期居住,租房不如買房划算。在英國買房的流程主要分為 確定購房費用及貸款 看房做調查 出價 Make An Offer 申請貸款,找買房律師 交換合同 根據英國媒體報導,為了刺激因為疫情封禁措施而陷入暫時低迷的房產市場,英國政府首相宣布“印花稅免稅假期”(Stamp Duty Holiday)將從2020年7月8日起至2021年3月31日截止。 “假期”期間,印花稅的起徵點從12.5萬英鎊調整到了50萬英鎊,也就是說,如果你購買的房子價格在50萬英鎊以下,是免徵印花稅的!這可以最多為買房者省下1.5萬英鎊的稅費! 教育 如果你有子女,最重大的考慮就是教育問題。如有18歲以下子女可入讀當地的公立學校,當地政府學校稱為state school,中小學是免費的。此外也可以入讀文法中學Grammar school和私立中學 Independent school。 Grammar school 文法中學,是政府學校的一種, 不過year 6 的小學生可以去參加一個叫11+的考試, 考得好, 而又住得近該文法中學就可以入讀。 英國既教育出晒名,私立學校Independent school之中, 通常都係有小學部和中學部而且除了有分男校, 女校, 男女校之外仲有分Day school 只提供日校課程, 沒有寄宿Full boarding school, 全校都是寄宿生Day / Boarding school, 一部份學生寄宿, 一部份日校生。 若你有簽證,房產和教育的問題,可以與我們的專家Wsymen聯繫https://www.wysmen.com 醫療 醫療方面,必需付年支付醫療附加費Immigration health surcharge。大約是每年624英鎊,支付後可享用當地的NHS醫療系統。可以免費看醫生,做手術室,在醫療中心或醫院應診。但需要支付牙科和眼科治療以及醫生開的任何藥物。 工作 持有BNO簽證,可以在英國工作及讀書,創業、做生意亦可。英國咁大, 工種咁多, 工種最受歡迎呢? 來到英國你可以從事高薪,具有挑戰性和有趣的工作。 以下是求職網站對英國10大最受歡迎工作的調查。 The 10 Most in-Demand…
