Probably depends on your type of visa. I doubt they will ask for MPF if you spent your 7 years here on a dependant visa.

That's a question I want to ask. My husband just received his dependent visa + HKID. He's in his mid 50s, so we don't think it is easy for him to find a job here, and to be honest, our financial situation does not require him to do so. I wonder what will happen in 7 years when he will apply for PR without any employment proof.
Good to know that. Thanks!Original Post Deleted
If he is here for 7 years on a dependent visa, he will get PR with no questions asked and no need to supply any documentation. Employment, paying MPF, etc are not conditions for getting PR. They are only used as supporting evidence in exceptional cases for people who are assessed to be possibly cheating the system. But living here for 7 years on a dependent visa is not an exceptional case and will be granted PR with no questions asked.
I guess it really depends on case by case. My colleague was asked to bring his MPF statements, but he did not come to HK for the whole 2018. So probably it still serves as a supporting document under working visa.Original Post Deleted
It's not really case by case. You said in a previous post that your colleague was OUT OF HONG KONG for more than a year in 2018. So this is why he was asked to show MPF statements. He has to show additional evidence that Hong Kong was really still his home even when he was not living in Hong Kong for over 6 months. But for most normal people, if you are here for 7 years then this is enough evidence and you will get PR easily even if you are unemployed the whole 7 years, not paying any MPF, etc.
Not sure if anyone can clarify. I have a dependent Visa issued back in Oct 2013 but not actually entered HK until March of 2014 which means there is a 5 Months gap when my Dependent Visa expires this year. So 1 do i need to apply for another dependent Visa to take me up another year so i fill my 7 years or 2 do i treat my Dependent Visa issuance as the anniversary. Thanks in advance anyone can help answer my dilemma.
