Moving out of Hong Kong

[Pauljoecoe]

So basically i can only withdraw early once?

Yes. You can come back to Hong Kong and work again and pay into a new one but that one will have to stay until you are 65.

As in I am not thinking about taking any job and probably leave soon, but not like leave immediately after withdrawing.

False declaration on permanent departure is a crime

Clearly, according to the oath you take you are stating you are leaving... permanently and you state the date.

I would guess the are not going to know whether you actually leave. That's up to you and your conscience and your willingness to risk it.

The form is available online (my employer gave me a copy) But yes you can just print it.

Fill your details in. You state on the form when you intend leaving Hong Kong.

Go to your local Home affairs dept office. Times and details below. Hand the form in. They will tell you to wait. Then they ask you to come in. You read the oath out in their presence and then they will ‘chop’ the form and sign it. You then submit that form with your form requesting the withdrawal of you MPF from whoever you have it with.

Home affairs offices and details of when and how you do it here. It’s quite easy and quick.

What if you're abroad? (UK currently)

No idea...but I would guess you would need to be in Hong Kong to do your oath. I’d contact your MPF provider or search the Hong Kong Government web pages relating to this matter.
