The deteriorating political climate and assault on civil society in Hong Kong resulted in a mass exodus. In response, the UK Government has provided a special immigration visa pathway for Hong Kongers since 2021, known as the British National (Overseas) visa. However, athletes and coaches are prohibited from continuing their careers in the UK under the BNO visa regulations. The research examines the practical concerns surrounding the departure and transition of Hong Kong elite athletes and coaches. Eight elite athletes and coaches were interviewed in a semi-structured format to explore their decision to emigrate to the UK and the use of this specific visa pathway. The study analyses the decision-making process during their transition and how it affects their sports careers. The researchers developed a model for the emigration decision-making process. Finally, the study proposes strategies to facilitate a smoother transition for Hong Kong athletes and coaches.
