Ok Ecxy, I didn't realise that Gary had been living out of the UK for more than 5 years, but he is still a British passport holder, so this shouldn't affect the procedure for the CNI? I think its a good idea to follow the advice of the British Embassy in HK.
Anyone else have a view on this?

Rob,
I got my CNI in Manila with no problems, even though I had been living outside the UK for about ten years. I still have Brit citizenship and all, you can't lose it, no matter how long you are away for. I'd been in the PI for maybe five years by then, but I was only ever there as a tourist, due to my work rotation. No residence permit or anything like that. I can't remember how long it took to process the CNI.
