The Immigration Department of Hong Kong has permitted certain nonpermanent residents living outside of Hong Kong to apply for an extension of stay.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Previously, nonpermanent residents were only permitted to apply for extensions of stay while they were living in Hong Kong. The extension of stay granted to nonpermanent residents will be valid until at least Dec. 31, 2022. More information regarding the extension of stay application for certain nonpermanent residents is available here.
BAL Analysis: Hong Kong’s decision to expand the extension of stay to certain individuals outside of Hong Kong is intended to allow those who are unable to return to Hong Kong to apply for the extension safely and conveniently. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and BAL will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
