Have read the website and spoken to them but still not confident that I have a conclusive answer so hoping someone on here can confirm based on their own experience...
The rule is that the applicant must be resident in HK for one year immediately prior to the application - Absences totalling a maximum of 56 days would still allow someone to be categorised as having been resident for that period.
So the question is...
If a person is absent for 86 days for example, does that mean they simply lose 1 month worth of benefit or does it mean they lose the entire year of benefit as the whole process of one year residency has to start afresh?
They have verbally communicated both positions so I’m utterly confused now...
Thanks anyone!
