UK Citizens have right of abode in the UK, including those who acquire it by descent.

UK Citizens can sponsor their dependents to come to the UK under the Family Migration Rules. Similarly, their dependents and families may also apply for any other migration route for which they are eligible, including the new Hong Kong BN(O) route if they hold this status.
