The UK Government cannot assist with the renewal of other countries' passports in the UK. As outlined in the UK Government's Six-monthly Report on Hong Kong, the UK has an unwavering commitment to Hong Kong and its people and the Government will continue to take very seriously the safety of our valued Hong Kong community in the UK.
