BN(O) visa holders have the following rights and entitlements:

• Leave to remain in the UK for a period of five years. This could be either for an initial period of 30 months, which can be renewed for a further 30 months or a 5-year period of leave from the outset.
• The ability to apply for settlement (indefinite leave to remain) in the UK after five years’ leave under existing rules, and to apply for UK citizenship after 12 months settlement under existing rules
• The right to work in the UK in almost any capacity (either as employed or self-employed), as long as you follow UK employment laws and subject to having the appropriate skills and qualifications
• Access to education including:
  • schooling for under 18 child dependants
  • education and training for young people aged 16-19
  • the ability to apply for higher education courses
• Access to healthcare free at the point of use. This is what the Immigration Health Surcharge pays for. This also includes free vaccinations.
• No recourse to public funds, which means you are not entitled to most welfare benefits or support.
