My husband is a Hong Kong resident and I am a mainland citizen. Can I get Hong Kong status and how to do it?

You can apply for a one-way pass! (proof of residence)

After Hong Kong people and mainlanders register for marriage. You must go back to the entry-exit administration office where the mainlander's household registration is located to apply for a one-way permit.

The required certificates are as follows:

1) Identity cards and household registration books of mainlanders.

2) Hong Kong identity card, home visit permit and Hong Kong birth certificate (or one-way permit for immigrants from the Mainland in that year).

3) Your marriage certificate (registered in Hong Kong, which is not recognized in the Mainland, can only be used by a law firm that has gone to Hong Kong and is qualified to handle notarization in the Mainland, and then get it back. . . If you register in the mainland, you don't need it. A direct marriage certificate will do. )

Whether Hong Kong spouses need to come back when applying varies from place to place. My wife didn't need me to be there when she applied, so she applied alone. So you'd better ask the entry-exit administration office where your household registration is located. This is the safest way. When the batch is approved soon, the Exit-Entry Administration will inform your husband to come back for an interview.

At present, it takes four to four and a half years to apply for a one-way permit. After getting a one-way permit, you can get a Hong Kong identity card and settle in Hong Kong. After living for 7 years, you can apply for a Hong Kong permanent identity card. Only in this way can you really settle in Hong Kong!

During this period, if the mainland wants to come to Hong Kong, it must apply for visiting relatives for three months at a time.

PS。 As long as you are a Hong Kong resident, it doesn't matter if you are not a permanent resident. . Non-permanent residents can also apply for mainland wives. That's what I am. I am a non-permanent resident. Just registered for marriage in February this year, my wife immediately applied! Now I'm on the waiting list. . . Don't listen to others saying that non-permanent residents can't apply. . . .
