3. The most worry-free way - dependence on relatives and dependents

There is a very important premise for you to obtain Hong Kong identity through these two methods.

That means you must have an immediate family member who has obtained Hong Kong identity through various means or is a Hong Konger before you can apply.

1. The dependent

Has an immediate family member as the guarantor to obtain Hong Kong status through studying, talented and professional programs in Hong Kong, then the spouse or children of the guarantor can apply for a dependent visa together.

This is what we often call the benefit of one Hong Kong talent being approved and the whole family is given the identity.

A. Features: The dependents are not restricted in studying in Hong Kong

Someone may ask: Can the dependents study and work in Hong Kong? First of all, all dependents are not restricted in studying in Hong Kong.

As for work, the dependents of talented/specialized talents can work in Hong Kong without restrictions.

However, if the guarantor is taking a student visa, the dependent cannot work in Hong Kong during the guarantor's school period unless it is approved by the Immigration Department in advance.

In other aspects, dependents enjoy the same rights as those with Hong Kong identity.

B. Application materials:

When submitting an application to the immigration office, the guarantor (that is, the guarantor) must present the following information documents:

▲Reasonable relationship proof (such as birth medical certificate, household registration book, etc.);

▲The main applicant has no bad entry record and no criminal record certificate;

▲The main applicant can maintain the living conditions of the dependent in Hong Kong above the basic level and provide him with a certificate of appropriate residence.

(If it is a specialist program, the application can be submitted together. It is recommended to apply separately. After the main applicant is approved to work in Hong Kong, then apply for the dependent.)

2. One-way certificate (by relative)

reunion using the one-way certificate method. Some couples who live in mainland China and Hong Kong are calculated from the date of their marriage. It usually takes 4 years to get the one-way certificate.

Since it takes 7 years to get permanent residence in Hong Kong, it is recommended that you apply as soon as possible to facilitate asset and children's education planning.
