When you have been resident in Hong Kong for 7 years you can apply.

So there is no chance of Father and son relationship to receive a Permanent residency?


Father - PR
Son- Foreign citizen with hong kong ic.

thanks,

Is he a Chinese citizen?


Edit: Just saw in your post he received one (so I guess he isn't a Chinese citizen), which means he has been resident in HK for the seven years.

No. You don't get one. Live here legally for 7 years and you can apply.

no
he is not,
malaysian,

thank you for the verification.

You need to be ordinarily resident here for 7 years continuously. Being overseas for education does not interrupt ordinary residence, so if you have come back here for all the holidays during the time you have been studying, and you arrived at the same time as your father then, yes, I believe you are eligible to apply for Permanent Residence.
