What are Hong Kong dependants?

There are two types of dependants in Hong Kong, namely:

1. Under the following circumstances, the guarantor may bring his spouse and/kloc-unmarried and dependent children under the age of 0/8 to Hong Kong.

1. Employ in Hong Kong (as a professional, entrepreneur or intern who started/participated in business)

2. Studying (full-time local bachelor's degree or taking postgraduate courses in institutions approved to come to Hong Kong to award Hong Kong degrees)

3. People coming to Hong Kong under the Capital Investor Entry Scheme (Note: this scheme was stopped on 20 15 15).

4. Entry of talents

5. Importation of China and Hong Kong permanent residents under the Second Generation Scheme.

2. If the guarantor is a permanent resident of Hong Kong or a Hong Kong resident who is not restricted by the length of stay, he can bring his spouse, unmarried and dependent children under 18, and parents aged 60 or above to stay in Hong Kong.

According to this policy, if the applicant meets the general entry requirements and the eligibility criteria of the original dependant policy, including proof of reasonable relationship with the sponsor, no known bad record, being able to maintain the living conditions in Hong Kong above the basic level and providing appropriate accommodation, the Director of Immigration of the SAR Government will consider approving his application to stay in Hong Kong as a dependant.

The Immigration Department of the SAR Government will handle pending and new applications in accordance with the new policy. For those who were allowed to stay in Hong Kong earlier under the transitional arrangements of the Immigration Department of the SAR Government, the relevant permits will remain valid, and they can apply for extension of stay before the expiration of their stay, which will be handled by the Immigration Department of the SAR Government according to the new policy.
