good news in february

Congratulations to Xingyunhai International customer Mr. Q for obtaining the Hong Kong permanent resident identity card and Hong Kong SAR passport!

customer background

In 2015, Mr. Q passed our company to apply for the Hong Kong Importation of Mainland Talents Project, and successfully obtained Hong Kong resident status.

However, if he wants to become a permanent resident of Hong Kong, Mr. Q still needs to complete 7 years before he can apply.

During the seven years from 2015 to 2022, Mr. Q was employed by a Hong Kong company and paid taxes and MPF without interruption. Due to work needs, I often travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland.

During this period, Mr. Q's second child was born in Hong Kong, and he has Hong Kong permanent resident status and passport after birth (no need to wait for 7 years)

application process

Out of affirmation and trust in Xingyunhai International, Mr. Q once again entrusted our company to apply for Hong Kong permanent residence and passport after seven years of expiration, and explained that he had left Hong Kong twice in the seven years because of his family's illness and need to take care of him. And the time exceeds 6 months.

According to the actual situation of Mr. Q, our team made a reasonable and sufficient explanation to the immigration officer, and provided documents of him and his family members as supporting evidence.

First application submission: November 17, 2022

Approved interview notification letter: January 10, 2023

Xingyunhai international copywriting team has more than ten years of experience in applying for permanent residence in Hong Kong. It has fully prepared the entire set of permanent residence application documents for Mr. Q. During the review period, there were no inquiries or supplementary documents, and it was finally approved at one time. Congratulations to Mr. Q again and family.

7 advantages of permanent residence status in Hong Kong

01

Apply for a Hong Kong passport with super high gold content

After obtaining the Hong Kong permanent resident identity card, you can apply for a Hong Kong passport.

There are a total of 233 countries and regions in the world. Hong Kong passports can be visa-free or visa-on-arrival for 167 countries or regions. Come and go on a trip at any time!

02

have the right to vote and be elected

Only Hong Kong permanent residents have the right to vote and stand for election and participate in political life.

Hong Kong residents with temporary status do not have this right.

03

Eligible to apply for Hong Kong Civil Service

The civil service position is a rare job in Hong Kong that "more money, less work, better benefits".

According to Article 99 of the Basic Law, only permanent residents can be employed as civil servants.

04

Can apply for public housing and low-rent housing

Hong Kong permanent residents can apply for public housing and low-rent housing, and the purchase tax for the first home purchase can be exempted. Even if they buy a second home in the future, they only need to pay 15% stamp duty.

Hong Kong non-permanent residents need to pay 30% stamp duty on their first home purchase (the stamp duty can only be refunded after becoming a permanent resident)

05

Children enjoy 15 years of free public education

Hong Kong implements 15 years of compulsory education, and students only need to pay for books and miscellaneous fees each semester to attend public primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong.

Schools in Hong Kong have always followed the Western education model and implemented bilingual education in Chinese and English. The teaching quality has been recognized around the world, and many institutions of higher education have been ranked among the world's universities.

06

Opportunity to enter a famous mainland school without examination

Students who have a Hong Kong permanent ID card and a home return permit can enter relatively good primary schools, middle schools and universities in the Mainland without taking the exam. At the same time, they can also participate in the "Hong Kong-Macao Joint Examination" organized by the Ministry of Education, and enter famous universities such as Qingbei Fujiao with low scores .

Of course, you can also choose to study in a university in Hong Kong, or directly enter a prestigious overseas school.

07

Enjoy super high medical standards and benefits

In addition to the medical benefits that all Hong Kong residents can enjoy, permanent residents also enjoy social benefits such as unemployment benefits, pensions, and living allowances for the elderly.
