Hello,

I have two questions with regards to the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme:

1. The clause saying the entrant/applicant must be beneficially entitled to the funds throughout two years before the application. If the entrant is above 18 years old but the funds is in the bank account of the entrant's dad under the dad's name throughout 2 years prior to the application, will the entrant be qualified to apply? In other words, the dad wants to apply for his children. The dad is not a HK citizen. Is it possible?

2. Conditional stay clause saying that the entrant must have continuous ordinary residence in HK for 7 years to apply for permanent residence. Does continuous ordinary residence mean living in 7 years at HK without going out anywhere for however long? Can the entrant go out of Hong Kong for 2 weeks for example?

Many thanks for help or explanation

2. No. Yes.
