Потеря постоянного места жительства в результате 36-месячного отсутствия (некитайцы)

Гражданство в стране Hong Kong SAR

Право на участие
A HK permanent resident who is NOT of Chinese nationality LOSES permanent resident status if absent from HK for a continuous period of not less than 36 months since ceasing to have ordinarily resided in HK (Cap.115 Sch.1 para 7(a)). This is a RESIDENCE-status loss, NOT a citizenship loss, and applies only to non-Chinese PRs. The Director of Immigration has no discretion to extend/waive the 36-month duration. A person who ceases to be a HK permanent resident by the 36-month-absence rule automatically acquires the RIGHT TO LAND (may enter/live/study/work in HK without restriction), retaining a residence status but forfeiting the protection against deportation that abode confers.

  • He is at risk of having lost permanent resident status, since Cap.115 Sch.1 para 7 provides for loss of PR (for non-Chinese-national PRs) after a continuous period of absence exceeding 36 months.

    Even if PR is lost under this provision, he retains an underlying 'right to land' — this is loss at the residence layer only, entirely unrelated to any nationality question, and does not itself trigger any Chinese-nationality consequence (he was never a Chinese national in this scenario).

  • Whether periodic short visits interrupt/reset the continuous-absence clock for para 7 purposes is a fact-specific determination depending on the frequency, duration, and purpose of each visit.

    This is explicitly NLR-flagged as requiring case-by-case Immigration Department assessment — do not assume a fixed formula (e.g., 'any visit resets the clock') without primary confirmation.
