The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
announced Wednesday that the relaxed immigration policy governing
the entry of dependents for residence in Hong Kong would take
effect from June 1.
???
Under the policy announced on May 18, Chinese mainland spouses and
unmarried dependent children under the age of 18 of the following
categories of persons will be allowed to apply to reside in Hong
Kong as the dependents of their sponsors:
* persons admitted for employment, investment and training under
the General Employment Policy;
* persons admitted under the Capital Investment Entrant
Scheme;
* foreigners and overseas Chinese admitted under the Quality
Migrant Admission Scheme;
* overseas Chinese admitted for employment; and
* overseas students admitted for studying in full-time
undergraduate or post-graduate programs in local degree-awarding
institutions.
The length of stay of dependents is linked to that of their
sponsors. They are required to leave Hong Kong as and when the
sponsors leave.
