Dual citizenship driver here. Have both an HKID and Canadian Passport. Is it ok to drive in HK with an IDP even though I do have an HKID card? The description of a visitor on the transportation department website is very vague: "visitors mean that they arrive at Hong Kong other than to take up residence for a period not exceeding 12 months"
In a way I could say that I fit the description as I reside overseas and am only staying temporarily in HK; however on the other hand I do have an HKID card. This has caused me to be unsure of whether I fit the description of a visitor in the eyes of the transportation department.
Here is a side thought for when I land in Hong Kong, if I clear the immigration with my passport instead of using the echannel with my HKID, could I technically be classified as a visitor during my stay in HK, hence making it justifiable to use my IDP to drive even though am in possession of an HKID?
Appreciate some opinions on what I would call a grey area scenario.
