There are two identities to immigrate to Hong Kong, which one do you choose?

Hong Kong, the international stage that this elite yearns for; A combination of Chinese and western education system, a world-class prestigious school can provide close elite education for children, and the medical level is mature in cash, which can quickly provide accurate treatment programs and technologies. Come with me. There are two identities for emigrating to Hong Kong. Which one do you choose?

Since Hong Kong closed investment immigration, we have helped many mainlanders to obtain non-permanent resident status in Hong Kong through various talent channels. Anyone who has not lived in Hong Kong for seven years is a non-permanent resident of Hong Kong. After living for seven years, immigrants can choose whether to apply for permanent resident status.

What is the difference between Hong Kong permanent resident status and Hong Kong non-permanent resident status?

Which of these two identities would you choose?

house

As for the applicants who have moved to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government requires them to "make Hong Kong their home". Therefore, to settle in Hong Kong, you need a home first.

If the applicant can't afford the high housing price, eligible Hong Kong residents can wait for public housing or buy subsidized housing, if they apply for the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) to realize their dream of home ownership.

However, according to the Housing Authority Ordinance, only eligible permanent residents can apply for public housing. Take single people as an example. As long as their income and assets do not exceed HK$ 65,438+00, HK$ 65,438+000 and HK$ 236,000, they can submit application forms to the Housing Authority and add them to the waiting list.

As for the purchase of subsidized housing, only Hong Kong permanent residents can apply. However, the Housing Authority only restricts applications from non-permanent residents. If there are Hong Kong permanent residents aged 65,438+08 at home, non-permanent residents can apply for public housing and purchase subsidized housing as family members.

For example, a man holding a Hong Kong permanent identity card went north to marry his wife B. After the couple reunited, B got a one-way permit to Hong Kong and became a Hong Kong resident. B is a non-permanent resident and can't be an applicant, but she can apply for two-person public houses with A in the name of husband and wife.

education

Education is an internationally recognized basic human right, and both permanent residents and non-permanent residents can enjoy the same educational rights.

Whether they apply for admission to kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, or even universities, they have equal opportunities to receive education, and the tuition fees are the same.

Non-permanent residents who have financial needs and want to apply for travel allowance, book allowance or tuition fee remission can apply as long as they meet the income and asset limits of the Student Financial Assistance Office.

This means that if parents study or work in Hong Kong and hold Hong Kong identity, they can bring their children under the age of 18 to study in Hong Kong and enjoy the same system of further education as local students in Hong Kong.

medical treatment

According to the charging guidelines of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, holders of Hong Kong identity cards issued under the Registration of Persons Ordinance (Cap. 125). 177), including Hong Kong permanent residents and non-permanent residents, are eligible to use heavily subsidized public medical services, such as general outpatient service in 45 yuan, emergency room 100 yuan, and first outpatient service 100 yuan.

It should be reminded that if the non-permanent resident visa expires, the HA will charge according to the guidelines of non-permanent residents.

Civil servant qualification

According to the entry requirements for civil servants published by the Civil Service Bureau, according to Article 99 of the Basic Law, civil servants employed on or after July1997/kloc-0 must be permanent residents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

In other words, non-permanent residents who want to apply for civil servants must have lived in Hong Kong for seven years before they can apply for permanent resident status.

To vote and stand for election

According to Article 542 and Article 547 of the District Councils Ordinance, only Hong Kong permanent residents can enjoy the right to vote and stand for election according to law.

Non-permanent residents can't run for the district councils and the Legislative Council, and they don't qualify as voters, so they can't cast a sacred vote in the district councils and the Legislative Council elections.

Comprehensive social security assistance

The Hong Kong Government originally restricted non-permanent residents who have not lived for seven years from applying for CSSA.

According to the Economic Daily, since 2065438+mid-February 2003, the Court of Final Appeal ruled that the requirement of having lived in Hong Kong for seven years before applying for CSSA violated the Basic Law, and ordered the resumption of the policy, allowing applicants to apply after having lived in Hong Kong for 1 year. That is, non-permanent residents who have lived in Hong Kong for 1 year can apply for CSSA from SWD as long as they meet the requirements.

Passport of China SAR

According to the eligibility for entry into the SAR passport, Hong Kong permanent residents can apply for SAR passports and enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival treatment in 159 countries and regions.

If non-permanent residents want to go abroad, they can only apply for visa identity documents of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as travel documents, and they still need to apply for visas at the consulate of the destination country or region before each trip, and they cannot "take them with them".
