@jw1701, I'll be the judge if any information that is replied on this post will be "right", "wrong" or useful according my current need of feedback. Your post is clearly not helping. It's impolite to answer/reply a question with a question, since it rarely provides an solution and it's bad etiquette. Expats, as I see it, are not only foreigners working abroad in in Hong Kong, or any foreign country for that matter. There is a considerable amount of re-immigrating Hong Kong people who have valuable information for me in my current situation. Expatriates used to be a very fancy word for daring people who were willing to work abroad for the right price and privileges, but since globalization, it has become a common phenomenon. The last sentence is just my personal opinion, my 2 cents if you will.
@ big_panda, yes. I Google-d and read the same link you gave me. It gives information about how to apply. However it does not really go into details about land grant or it's application on how to acquire land to construct upon if one does not own it.
My situation is that I already own a small house which was erected by my grandfather. The land my family owns or had owned is unclear because of the fact that my father has not been back for a few decades and he is unclear whether he has still legal rights to any land.
Which puts me in my currents situation. I would like to return to Hong Kong. My wife who was born and raised in East Asia does not feel at home in Europe. So I am planning to settle myself in Hong Kong in the near future.
