Hi All,
This is what I will do the next time I go to Hong Kong:
1) Enter HK as a visitor
2) Visit ImmD with my Youth ID card and say I need to get my Smart ID. I'll probably be asked as to why I hadn't changed it when I was supposed to. I'll say that in fact I was in school overseas, and am now returning to HK for good. At this time two things can happen:
A) I'm asked for my Youth ID and nothing more is asked of me.
B) I'm asked for a secondary piece of identification and I must present my passport. Then ImmD will see the "visitor" stamp and ask my a bunch of questions. Do you think I can ask them to look into my records (eg: father and mothers birth certificates, and their HKID numbers etc.) to see how I got my Youth ID in the first place? Or would I need to bring everything with me again?
