How to meet the conditions for "habitual residence"?

According to the Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme's 2+3+3 renewal model, except for the first time when you can apply for a two-year stay visa with the "In-Principle Approval Letter" issued by the Immigration Department to the main applicant, the other two renewals must comply with the requirements of the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance.
However, for those who have been away from Hong Kong for a long time due to work or other reasons, the Immigration Department may indeed refuse the renewal application because you do not meet the Immigration Ordinance. So, how can you convince the Immigration Department that you are indeed "ordinarily residing" in Hong Kong?
Referring to the Immigration Department's definition of "ordinarily residing" above, to prove that you are indeed ordinarily residing in Hong Kong, you only need to submit the following documents to the Immigration Department:
1.Proof of children studying in Hong Kong (transcripts, student handbooks, etc.);
2.Communication address of habitual residence (self-owned, rented, or relatives' address is acceptable);
3.Proof of purchasing a vehicle in Hong Kong, registration, and Hong Kong driver's license;
4.Proof of Hong Kong mobile phone's network connection in Hong Kong;
5.Utility bills (water, electricity, gas, phone, internet, etc.);
6.Financial institution documents (bank statements, etc.);
7.Proof of Hong Kong credit card and timely repayment records;
8.Relevant proof of insurance purchased in Hong Kong;
9.Community services (charity groups, chambers of commerce, private memberships, etc.);
10.Proof of Hong Kong company assigning employees to work abroad;
11.Professional verification (family doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc.).
In fact, from the relevant proof documents, it can also be seen that the Immigration Department does not have a mandatory requirement to stay in Hong Kong for 183 days, but is concerned about whether you have focused your life and work in Hong Kong. Even if you temporarily cannot stay in Hong Kong for various reasons, you can still prove that you are "ordinarily residing" in Hong Kong.
