Can the Hainanese male partner apply for a Hong Kong One-Way Permit by himself? His wife, who holds a Hong Kong permanent identity card, said she would not go back to Hainan to help him.

It is impossible to apply for a one-way permit without the other half of the Hong Kong permanent resident identity card. And you don’t have enough time to get married now. The one-way permit must be approved by Hong Kong only after it has been 4 years old, and then the couple will be arranged for an interview at the entry and exit in the mainland. If your Hong Kong partner does not show up at the interview, you will not be able to apply for a one-way permit. And after the interview, it is estimated that it will take half a year to prepare the certificate. So basically you won’t be able to apply for a one-way permit unless you reconcile again. I hope this helps.
