Dear theis,
Criteria for accepting late
BN (0) Applications
Thanks for your message of 25 June.
I attach herewith a set of criteria drawn up by our Immigration Department for accepting late BN (0) applications. This is intended to be the guidelines for overseas posts to follow. There will certainly be all sorts of 'strange' cases, and we will have to be very flexible with those. The attached list is, therefore, not meant to be exhaustive.
to
I will write to you/in the next few days about how late applications which overseas posts hesitate accept are to be treated.
I think I still owe you a reply to how the fee For the BN(0) passport was set. It was again set simply to recover the administrative cost. But unlike the fee for the BDTC passport, it was laid down in the Consular Fees Act rather than in our local legislation, so the fee in Hong Kong dollars varies with the exchange rate. It will be higher if the Pound goes up.
I apologize for the delay in answering this last
question.
yours
sincerely.
