I am working in HK on an employment VISA. I have been here for 3 years now. My current employer is sponsoring my employment VISA however, I am considering quitting my job and getting a study VISA so I can enroll for full time studies. Now my concern is, if I change from employment to student VISA, will I be resetting my "clock" ? will the 3 years I have stayed on an employment VISA count if I change to student VISA when applying for PR after completing 7 years?
Please advise
