有關BNO 參軍加速入籍 琴日收到inbox ，話有人聲稱用軍人身份拎BC，退役之後要重新考過life in UK同申請ILR。 而事實當然唔係咁樣。 喺英軍嘅官網，英聯邦國家申請入籍嘅一頁，其實係有特登寫一段關於BNO 。 https://aff.org.uk/advice/foreign-commonwealth/citizenship/ /08 BN(O) passport holders Form B(OTA) 5 years resident in UK Must have been physically in the UK on the first day of the 5 year period (any time overseas due to Crown Service after then can be counted as residence) Have ILR for 12 months OR an exempt stamp You do not need to meet the KoLL requirement See gov.uk/government/publications/form-bota-guidance for guidance 其實BNO 參軍嘅exemption stamp 係已經等同settled state 即係ILR(所以原文係用OR，即exemption stamp 等同ILR加12個月），所以BNO參軍人士先可以用呢樣代替ILR直接拎BC. 至於有人會問點解又會有armed forces ILR 呢樣嘢，其實呢個係俾啲服役期間冇入籍，退役之後改變心意想留喺英國嘅人士用。 /During Service, serving personnel are exempt from immigration control under section 8(4)(a) of the Immigration Act 1971. This exemption means that you can apply for Citizenship without first requiring indefinite leave/settlement. However, as soon you discharge, you are no longer exempt and will need to apply for ILR before you can apply for Citizenship./ 而本身服緊役嘅現役英軍，只而要住夠5年（係住夠唔係服役夠，即係參軍前時間都計，連做遊客時間都計）,就可以直接申請BC 原文： CAN apply for citizenship whilst serving as long as you have lived in UK (or on overseas assignments) for five years. When completing the online form you should write down all of your trips outside the UK – under ‘reason for trip’ you should write ‘Crown Service’ (unless you went outside the UK for non-Service reasons). CAN count any time spentin the UK prior to joining the Army. This includes time spent on visit visas DO have to have served for a minimum of 12 months prior to applying DO have to include a unit letter to confirm date of enlistment and that time spent overseas was due to military Service. DO NOT need ILR first. When you complete the online form select the following option and put in your date of enlistment/ 國籍係跟一世嘅，服役期間已入籍嘅英軍，自然唔需要再申請過永居。 我哋知道好多人做緊資訊戰，企圖散播假新聞打擊香港人參軍嘅興趣，特此列出官網資訊以正視聽。
