Residencia de dependiente/reunificación familiar a PR
Ciudadanía en Hong Kong SAR
- Elegibilidad
- Dependant visa: sponsors may be HK permanent residents or non-permanent residents already admitted under an approved scheme (employment/study/business/GEP/ASMTP/QMAS/TTPS/IANG/TechTAS/CIES). Eligible dependants for all sponsor categories are a spouse (or party to a legally-recognised same-sex/opposite-sex civil partnership, civil union, or marriage recognised at the place of celebration) and unmarried children under 18. Only permanent-resident sponsors may additionally sponsor parents aged 60+. After 7 continuous years' ordinary residence, dependants may independently apply for right of abode. POSITIVE DISCONFIRMATION: there is no unmarried-partner/de facto/cohabiting dependant route in Hong Kong immigration law. The Immigration Department's Dependants policy explicitly excludes de facto/cohabiting partnerships and mere engagements; a dependant relationship is recognised only via a legal

Yes in principle — continuous ordinary residence accrued while on a dependant visa can count toward the applicant's own 7-year PR clock under HK-RES-01, subject to the same ordinary-residence continuity requirements as any other visa holder.
The dependant visa itself does not confer PR; it is a residence-permitting visa category whose time may accrue toward the separate 7-year route. Continuity and the sponsoring relationship's stability should be documented.
A parent dependant visa may be available subject to Immigration Department criteria (e.g., age, no other adequate means of support, sponsor's ability to support). If granted and maintained continuously, it could in principle feed into the applicant's own future 7-year PR route, but this is not automatic or guaranteed.
Parent-dependant admission is more discretionary than spouse/child dependant admission — flag eligibility criteria as requiring current IMMD policy confirmation (NLR on precise current thresholds).
No. Under current HK Immigration Department dependant policy, unmarried partners (including same-sex partners whose relationship is not recognised as marriage) are excluded from the standard dependant visa route.
This is a positive disconfirmation flagged in the Route Universe completeness sweep. The couple would need to explore other independent visa channels (e.g., the partner separately qualifying under a talent/employment scheme) rather than relying on the relationship itself.
