Anyone help me, Question regarding Hong Kong & China ID Cards
2 questions i like to ask:
Question 1: Everyone born in or lived in Hong Kong for a long time is entitled to apply for a HKH PERMANENT ID CARD, is this a travelling document like a passport? Or just a form of ID? Question 2: People in Hong Kong can also apply for a China ID Card too, before this reddish card came out they used to have this bulky book where the Chinese Immigration stamped it everytime. With this card it is so much easier where they just swipe it. Does anyone knows what this card is called? And who can apply for one? Cheers for help, Dont send me emails as email address is dud. |

Its not recognised as a passport internationally, so for traveling to most countries Hong Kong people still need to take along their passport. |

I think the requirement is seven years' continuous residency to qualify for a permanent ID card. You even get the right to vote. New machine readable "smart cards" are now being phased in and eventually the old ones (such as my temporary one first issued in 1987) will not be accepted by authorities. George W. Russell Ha Noi |

Or just a form of ID? The Permanent ID card is not a travel document as a Passport is. The permanent ID card indicates to the immigration department that you have the right of abode (and therefore may be employed legally without an employment visa). Permanent ID can be applied for if you have resided legally in Hong Kong for 7 years. Question 2: People in Hong Kong can also apply for a China ID Card too, before this reddish card came out they used to have this bulky book where the Chinese Immigration stamped it everytime. With this card it is so much easier where they just swipe it. Does anyone knows what this card is called? And who can apply for one? Not 100% sure about this one but the info from my friends is that the China ID is available to HK nationals. Regardless of the status of your ID if you are an Expat you will need the travel document (passport) of your nation to enter/leave HK Cheers for help, Dont send me emails as email address is dud. |
