You don't need to see an immigration officer to invest and settle in Hong Kong. As long as your academic qualifications, certificates and funds meet the requirements of the Hong Kong government, they are all recognized by the Hong Kong government. The Hong Kong Government has no human factors and has no right not to approve the case.

3. The Immigration Authority of Hong Kong may apply to the Hong Kong Government for exemption. The Hong Kong government has residence requirements for applicants, who can apply for permanent residence in Hong Kong for seven consecutive years. The main applicant can apply for exemption from the government according to the actual situation, which is not comparable to other countries. Moreover, customers who immigrate to Hong Kong usually already have investments in Hong Kong. For example, many rich people have deposits/stocks/funds/bonds, so these guests can apply for an additional identity. Why not?
