According to a news source, just in the course of 2020 the number of Hong Kong citizens considering to move out of the country and get settled in the UK has surged by about 50 percent more than the number of total emigration inquiries.
The spike is observed over the past 18 months due to the uncertain political future of Hong Kong, which led to the emigration from the region. Though the UK is not the only consideration there is an increase in queries about immigration rules and regulations of Australia, Canada, and the USA – which have softened the visa requirements for Hong Kongers, since the new security law was implemented.
