    I live in the netherlands and im 20yr old.
    im not planning to stay in hk for a long time. but i do visit hk very often.
    My parents were both born in hk and both citizens of hk. my dad is still a hk permanent citizen.

    Do i qualify for a hk id??

    You are a permanent resident of HK if you are a Chinese citizen according to the laws of the PRC.

    To determine if you are a Chinese citizen, please let me know:
    1) Were you regarded as a citizen of the country of your birth, according to the laws of your birthplace, at the time of your birth?
    2) Was your father a Chinese citizen, according to the laws of the PRC, at the time of your birth?
    3) Was your mother a Chinese citizen, according to the laws of the PRC, at the time of your birth?
    4) Had your father settled down anywhere out of China at the time of your birth?
    5) Had your mother settled down anywhere out of China at the time of your birth?

    Were you born in HK? If not and your dad or mom did not apply for your HKID earlier, and as you have already crossed the age of 18 it is not possible to get HKID that easily.
