Cidadania em Hong Kong SAR

Elegibilidade
FOUNDLING: An abandoned new born infant found within Hong Kong who appears to the Director to be of Chinese descent is taken, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to be the legitimate child of a Chinese citizen who was a permanent resident of the HKSAR at the time of the child's birth (Cap.115 Sch.1 para 1(3)(a)). This deems the parentage that then supports permanent-resident (abode) status; it is a residence-layer safeguard against abandonment leaving a child without abode. FOUNDLING (non-Chinese branch): An abandoned new born infant found within Hong Kong who appears to the Director to be NOT of Chinese descent is taken, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to be the legitimate child of a parent not of Chinese nationality who had the right of abode in Hong Kong under paragraph 2(d) at the time of the child's birth (Cap.115 Sch.1 para 1(3)(b)).

  • The child benefits from a statutory foundling presumption under Cap.115 Sch.1 para 1(3), being presumed to be the child of a Chinese-citizen PR (or, alternatively, a non-Chinese para-2(d) PR) unless shown otherwise, and thereby acquires a right of abode presumption.

    This is a rebuttable evidentiary presumption, not an unconditional guarantee — social welfare/child-protection authorities and Immigration Department jointly handle these cases; confirm current procedural specifics if advising directly.
