Travelling - ILR BRP but lost passport

[jade-london]

I am not sure anyone here can give me some advice:

I had my Indefinite leave to remain issued in march 2012(with the biometric residence permit). It will be expired 2022. I was told that this ILR is linked to my passport (BNO): british national overseas , which will be expired dec 2012. I am now working in UK. But being a Hong Kong citizen, I also hold another HKSAR passport that expire 2014. I tried to renew my BNO passport but failed as they required my HKID which I have lost it.

I will be flying dec 2012 back to HK for holiday and back next year January. I just wonder if I come back with my HKSAR passport, with the biometric residence permit (expired 2022). Would that be any problem if the linked passport (BNO) already expired by then? I could not renew my BNO in this country as I lost my HKID. And if I apply for HKID and renew my BNO in HK, I dont think I have enough time to do that.

I would appreciate if anyone can give me some advice. My main concern is that I could not return back to UK with my HKSAR passport, expired BNO and Biometric residence permit

Thanks in advance

i thought the reason you get a BRP card now is that you don't have to have vignette on the passport. If you have your BRP which has your details in a chip/pin card then i cannot see any reason of refusal of entry.

also, have you reported your lost passport to police

Thanks for your message. I did not lost my passport, but I just lost my HK IDcard (similar to the UK biometric residence permit). And if I need to renew my BNO passport, I need to provide my identity proof (that is my HKID) which I lost it. Hk will not issue new ID card if it is lost overseas. and I will report lost once I arrived HK. And it has to be done in HK. The problem now is I might not have enough time to get my HKID and renew the BNO as I just back for less than 3 weeks. Therefore I hope my residence permit (expire 2022) with my expired BNO, and HKSAR passport are sufficient to let to enter UK.
