Four questions. First, is it difficult to get an entry visa? Why do many people want to sneak into Hong Kong?

1. It is very simple to apply for an entry visa, but there are generally two kinds. People who travel for only seven days and visit relatives for only three months, so many people choose to smuggle if they want to stay in Hong Kong permanently.

There are generally three ways to become a permanent resident of Hong Kong. One is to apply for marriage or kinship, and the other is to apply after working or studying for a certain period of time. For example, you can apply for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region after studying undergraduate or postgraduate studies in Hong Kong and working for several years, reaching 5-7 years. The last way is to invest. You can apply for starting a company or investing in real estate in Hong Kong.

It was ok in the 1930s and 1980s, but with the change of policies, the British Hong Kong government needed to control the population, so it was impossible to get a Hong Kong identity card from then on.

4. Smuggling in the past often becomes black market workers, which has several disadvantages for Hong Kong. 1: It destroys the local labor and employment market (if it is illegal, it can be 10 yuan per hour, but it will disrupt the market relationship for other legal workers). 2: The welfare system cannot be judged. For example, if you don't want a Hong Kong identity card, but you are sick, the Hong Kong government will give you unconditional help. If there are a large number of stowaways, Hong Kong's medical system will be unbearable. 3. Finally, the tax issue. As a stowaway, if you don't pay taxes for work or consumption, then you are illegal for society and the government. Therefore, no matter from which angle, it will definitely be repatriated. Similarly, in fact, that country in the world is also like this.
