Recently, several talented clients have asked Hong Kong Jun:
Apply for permanent residence in Hong Kong for half a year every year?
Application for permanent residence in Hong Kong must stay in Hong Kong for six months every year for 7 consecutive years. How is this annual cycle calculated?
In response to these two questions, Hong Kong Jun wants to clarify:
Hong Kong permanent residence does not have this requirement. The official Hong Kong requirement is that can only apply for permanent residence after 7 consecutive years of residence. The applicant should not leave Hong Kong for a single time for more than 180 days, otherwise it will be considered that does not normally live in in Hong Kong.
. Many people in New Hong Kong have a very little understanding of the concept of "usually living" , so they have the misunderstanding of "to stay in Hong Kong for 180 days a year" .
Today we will talk about it in detail!
Misconceptions about permanent residence in Hong Kong
Whether you choose a Hong Kong talent, a specialist or an overseas study abroad entry program, the first thing you get after approval is the Hong Kong resident status. After that, you must renew your visa normally for 7 years before you can apply for a permanent residence status in Hong Kong.
and apply for permanent residence in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Immigration Department’s requirement is “usually reside in Hong Kong for 7 consecutive years or more” can apply for permanent residence.
What is usually inhabited?
Some countries with " Immigration Supervision " will state in the immigration rules how many days must be left, but the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is not.
The official definition of the Hong Kong Immigration Department has given a definition of normal residence, as follows:
In the specific approval of permanent residence, the Immigration Department will conduct a comprehensive investigation in combination with four aspects.
first , reason, period and number of times: In the application form for permanent residence in Hong Kong, must fill in the application form for leaving Hong Kong for more than 6 consecutive months. In other words, even if you are not in Hong Kong for a long time, as long as the applicant is able to issue a reasonable certificate, it will not hinder the recognition of normal residence in Hong Kong. For example, due to the epidemic, many of our clients' dependents have their visas cut off and finally successfully renewed them.
Of course, many customers will find it troublesome to issue certificates. Considering the subsequent application for permanent residence, Hong Kong Jun has always advised everyone to leave Hong Kong for more than 6 months each time. Because if you cannot prove reasonable departure from Hong Kong, you can refuse your permanent residence application.
Fourth, family members are in Hong Kong or not.
What is continuity?
This is easy to understand! It is the usual html that has been in 17 years. It must be continuous and cannot be broken in the middle. If it breaks, it must start counting again!
Basically, as long as the applicant can find a way to prove that your life or work focus in in the past 7 years has been in Hong Kong , and has a certain degree of connection with Hong Kong. Then how many days have you lived in Hong Kong in the past 7 years?
Because there are extreme applicants, the total residence time of 7 years is less than 300 days, and permanent resident status has been approved. But you can't say that you can definitely get a subscription if you live more than 300 days. still depends on whether your usual living materials in the past 7 years are sufficient and whether they have a close relationship with Hong Kong.
