Can I apply for a permanent identity card if I have a Hong Kong identity card (non-permanent) for seven years but have not lived in Hong Kong for seven years?

On the second floor, read the landlord's question carefully before you answer. He has been in Hong Kong for seven years, but he didn't come to Hong Kong often, which led to his seven years without life in Hong Kong. . . . I don't intend to apply for a permanent identity card before I have lived for seven years.

If you go to Hong Kong with a one-way permit to reunite with your family, it's okay not to live for seven years.

My grandmother lived in Hong Kong for seven years, but only two months. But it is no problem to change a permanent ID card!

Of course, if you are young and haven't been back to Hong Kong for several years, that's fine. Many relatives around me are like this.

I believe there will be problems if I don't live on one-way permits. You may be refused to apply for a permanent identity card, so you can continue to make arrangements and apply again at some time. And the certificate is the same as it is now, because the visa identity document is only 7 years, and they will send you a new one. I have a cousin who is like this. However, I finally got a permanent ID card.
