A quick sanity check, since it's the first time I encounter this. I am hiring an employee for my business, and I received an interesting application from someone who is originally from PRC but now studies in Hong Kong.
I asked him if he is eligible to work in Hong Kong, as I had my doubts... He replied (literally): "I hold the passport of Hong Kong SAR, but it is not permanent ID". I am confused as I thought before getting SAR passport you need to be a Permanent resident?
(of course I know passport is NOT an ID but I take it he meant "I hold the Passport of HKSAR but not Permanent ID")
Please enlighten me about such status as described above - and whether he is eligible to work in Hong Kong???
thanks
