Returnee going to HK next month to apply for permanent HK id. I will be back to USA before the id card is ready (takes 2 weeks, my relative who lives in HK will pick up the card for me). Heard that when I apply for the card I would be given a piece of paper with the id # (temporary id?)
Need to open a HK bank account (either a "current" or a savings account) in HK currency while in town so I can apply for the scheme6000. From my lengthy research it seems like that HK banks will open a bank account with a US passport, but not with the temporary HK id.
Is a HK bank account opened with a US passport different than an account that is opened with a HK permanent id card?
