I have been living in China since last 1 & half years. I am doing some small trading business here. My aim is to enter and reside in HK as a permanent resident.

Can anyone tell me what would be the easiest way?I want a secure life and nothing is much better than being a HK resident. I am still young, so i am determined to work and study in some good university. Being a HK resident means visa approvals in many countries.

Can anyone tell me what happens to be the best way for me.

HKD7 millions will grant you the status.

Actually, being a HK Resident is fairly different from getting a HK passport (which is what the visas are attached to).

http://www.immd.gov.hk will explain the different options.

Thanks for your reply. But before saying anyhting, i would requiest you to see the flag i am using in my login name. HKD 7 million is not possible and if i had HKD 7 million, why would i choose HK, why not some other countries and if i had so much moey also, why i will leave my own country.

Anyway friends, i am in need of some relevant solutions which is meant for me. LIke first entering as this, later doing like that and finally u can get it.

Can i do it through any company? I have a good touch with some companies in HK, and they can prepare all documents on my behalf. Can i use them? If yes, then how can i use them and in which exact way.

Your small suggestions can make someone's life. So pls do give soem good suggestions.

It's not HK7million, but 6.5. If you have to be funny just do it with the right info.
nD, there are a lot of info you haven't provided such as your nationality, so it's not easy to give you an accurate answer.
One suggestion is to check the Immigration Dept website first and then come back with more questions if you have something unclear.

Well, i am a Nepalese citizen holding Nepalese passport.

and i have visited that sites a million times. But i always think, discussing with some intellectuals for an hour helps to learn and get knowledge which we can never get in some one year also. So i was here to learn more from all of your experiences.

hope someone will provide me with some good advise.

Ok, first focus on this.

>> Being a HK resident means visa approvals in many countries.

No it does not. The visas are linked to your passport and not residency (i.e. where you're resident). Getting an HK passport is a fairly complex process... usually not open to immigrants, unless they're born here or show some extraordinary connection to Hong Kong (like being the head of InvestHK).

first you need a job that will sponsor you. in order for this to happen, you must prove that you have some skill which is not readily available in HK. and that cannot be provided by a local person.

in order for this to happen and so that you can later gain residency, it cannot be as a domestic helper.

second...

once you have sponsorship, you need to live in HK for a continuous period of 7 years(with an appropriate visa). once you have accomplished this, then you can apply for permanent residency.

however, as previous explained, this will in NO WAY affect your ability to travel to other countries visa-free. visa granting is based on the passport you hold. in hong kong being a permanent resident and being a citizen(ie.holding a HKSAR passport) are two COMPLETELY different things. even if you were a permanent resident in HK, you would still need to apply for visas when you travel elsewhere.

sham marriage, pay 50k hk dollars or less, just kidding.it is illegal. many mainlander chinese do this.

HKSAR passport is an option open to Chinese people only for what I know. Without being Chinese it would be extremely difficult to get HKSAR passport.
