How to become a permanent resident of Hong Kong as soon as possible?

Xinhuanet Hong Kong 10/28 According to a source of the Hong Kong Security Bureau, the SAR Government is amending the Immigration Ordinance, and mainland public officials working in Hong Kong cannot become permanent residents of Hong Kong even if they have lived in Hong Kong for seven years.

However, according to the provisions of the Basic Law, the children of these public officials born in Hong Kong can still enjoy the status of permanent residents in Hong Kong.

Mainland public officials stationed in Hong Kong refer to those who are resident in the Mainland and hold a "Pass to and from Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions on business" with a special endorsement on the inside page that "the holder is a national public official and stationed in Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions".

A person from the Hong Kong Security Bureau said that according to the original regulations, anyone who has worked and lived in Hong Kong for more than seven years can obtain the right of abode in Hong Kong. He said that public officials working in Hong Kong represent the interests of the country, and they are ordered to work in Hong Kong. After the amendment of the Immigration Ordinance, as long as they are appointed as public officials, no matter how long they work and live in Hong Kong, they will not become permanent residents of Hong Kong.

As long as your children are born in Hong Kong, according to the provisions of the Basic Law, they can still have the status of permanent residents in Hong Kong.
