Can Hong Kong permanent residence and mainland identity be owned at the same time? How to get it together?
Hong Kong permanent residence in Hanoi can exist at the same time, but a specific condition needs to be met, that is, no return certificate is applied.
We all know that the first thing we get in the process of applying for Hong Kong identity is the Hong Kong resident ID card. Hong Kong residents can freely enter and exit the two places with Hong Kong and Macao passes, and can stay in Hong Kong for a long time. After living in Hong Kong for 7 years, they can apply for a Hong Kong permanent resident ID card.
1. It should be noted here:
If you do not apply for permanent residence after seven years, you need to issue an explanation letter. Make clear instructions on why the Immigration Department does not apply for permanent residence. After obtaining permanent residence, you can apply for a Hong Kong passport and return home certificate.
The difference is that even if you apply for a Hong Kong passport, you do not have to cancel your mainland household registration. However, if you apply for a return home certificate, you must cancel your mainland household registration.
2. What is the return certificate?
Homecoming Pass is a pass for Hong Kong people to come to the Mainland. Simply put, it is an entry and exit travel document, which is used for Chinese citizens who settled in Hong Kong or Macau when entering and leaving the Mainland.
The key point is: If you don’t apply for a return certificate after obtaining a permanent residence in Hong Kong, how can you get to the mainland?
If you want to retain your dual identities after getting the permanent residence in Hong Kong, you must use the Hong Kong and Macao pass to enter and exit the mainland. Use a permanent residence ID card to enter and exit the Hong Kong Pass, so there is no need to apply for a return certificate.
It should be noted that traveling to and from mainland China is still subject to visa use restrictions, especially in terms of residence time.
