I am approaching 7 years of residence in HK come February 10th. Looking at the forms to be filled in, got a couple of questions :
- can I apply a month or so earlier ( today?)?
- ROP 145 asks for periods of ordinary residence, but only provides 4 boxes!! I travel soo much cross the border and for business overseas. How do I fill in this part?
- I read about some people suggesting to forward date the application forms ( both 145&146?) to the 7th year even you apply earlier. Any suggestion how the forms should be dated?
- Is it necessarily faster if you apply online? Or does that slow things down since you can only submit your HKID copy and will wait further correspondence from the department?
Thanks very much in advance.
