What procedures do I need to go through to settle in Hong Kong?

There are two main ways for mainlanders to immigrate and settle in Hong Kong. The first is kinship. If Hong Kong people get married in the Mainland, their spouses and children can apply for coming to Hong Kong (the so-called one-way permit). It takes several years from application to acquisition, and the actual time varies from province to province. The second is professional immigration.

This is the way for Li to go. Of course, you don't have to find a job in Hong Kong in this way. Your employer helps you apply, and then the government decides whether there is a real shortage of talents in this industry in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government will approve it. Now more and more mainland students go to Hong Kong to study and stay in Hong Kong after graduation. After working for seven years, they can become Hong Kong citizens.
