Recently, I often have clients asking me, what is the probability of successfully obtaining permanent residency after 7 years if the Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme is approved?
      

A mainland person who wants to ultimately obtain Hong Kong permanent residency through the Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme must overcome two hurdles.
     

► The first is the initial application stage, where whether you can get approved determines if you can obtain a Hong Kong resident ID card.

► The second is the later renewal stage, where meeting the renewal conditions determines whether you can ultimately obtain permanent resident status.
      

For most elite individuals from the mainland, gaining the favor of the Hong Kong Immigration Department and getting approved is not difficult.
 

But there are always some people who cannot obtain permanent residency after 7 years. What is the reason? Let's take a look today:

►►► The problems generally arise during the renewal:
1. The applicant's length of stay in Hong Kong and failure to keep a record of their life;
2. No entry and exit records in Hong Kong for more than 180 days;
3. Long periods of leaving Hong Kong without providing an explanation letter to the Hong Kong Immigration Department;
4. When renewing through a business, if the company does not meet the standard conditions, it is easy to be rejected;
5. Having a criminal record or a poor living record in Hong Kong.
