The Mainland authorities issue the one-way permits for Mainland spouses to come here, without any input from Hong Kong Immigration. It is different if they have residency in another country.

She doesnt need any one way permit. She has already been to HK several times on business trips. So im thinking she can apply for dependent when she visits HK. And hopefully it is approved so the next time she is back in HK then i just stick the visa on her passport.

Hi Fiona. Thanks for sharing this form. Is this form a requirement from HK or China?

Article 22(4) of the Basic Law provides that: "for entry into the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, people from other parts of China must apply for approval. Among them, the number of persons who enter the Region for the purpose of settlement shall be determined by the competent authorities of the Central People's Government after consulting the government of the Region".
From the ImmD website:
http://www.immd.gov.hk/en/services/h...tml#settlementOf the daily OWP quota of 150 places, 60 places are allocated to children holding Certificate of Entitlement (CoE) who enjoy the right of abode in Hong Kong, 30 to spouses separated for 10 years or more (long separated spouses) and their accompanying children, and 60 to applicants belonging to other categories. Included under other categories are spouses separated for less than 10 years and their accompanying children, unsupported children who need to join their relatives in Hong Kong, persons coming to Hong Kong to take care of their unsupported aged parents (i.e. those with no other children in Hong Kong) and unsupported elderly people coming to join relatives in Hong Kong.
The process and issue of OWPs are administered by Mainland authorities in accordance with Mainland laws, policies and regulations.
