Right of Abode & Continuity of Ordinary Residence Calculation
What Counts & What Doesn’t?
First Published October 4, 2014
Got 2 very similar questions in recently so I’m taking the opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone…
QUESTIONS
I have a residency visa and this is my 6th year in Hong Kong. I need to go back to my country due to some medical urgency. What amount of time can I spend outside Hong Kong so that my 7 years of continuous stay here remains unaffected?
&
I came to Hong Kong in 2009 as dependent child of my parent. I am supposed to apply for PR in 2015. But I spent more than a year out of Hong Kong to study within this period and I have my academic certificates to support my reason for my stay away. Will the Immigration Department approve my reason or count the 7 years all over again?
