Document background
The Permanent Resident Visa Application Form is a crucial document in Hong Kong's immigration system, designed for individuals seeking to establish permanent residence in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. This form is used when an applicant has met the basic eligibility requirements for permanent residency, typically after seven years of continuous ordinary residence or under other qualifying categories specified in Article 24 of the Basic Law. The document collects essential information about the applicant's personal history, family details, employment record, and residence timeline in Hong Kong. It must be submitted along with substantial supporting documentation to prove eligibility, and its processing is subject to verification by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. The form serves as the primary instrument for implementing Hong Kong's permanent residency policies and must comply with all relevant immigration ordinances and regulations.
