Hong Kong Immigration… What Does It Mean…Roof-Over-Head-Food-On-Table ?
Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Family Visas, Musing / No responses
In this short piece I discuss how the Hong Kong Immigration Department assess the bona fides of a sponsor seeking Hong Kong dependant visa permissions for his/her family to join him/her in the HKSAR.
Over the last 20 years or so I have coined a number of phrases in Hong Kong immigration parlance.
‘Roof-Over-Head-Food-On-Table’ describes a situation where, if you are seeking to sponsor a loved one in order to join you in Hong Kong as either a dependent visa holder or, in certain circumstances, a prolonged visitor visa holder, the sponsor that’s going to be supporting that application needs to be of sufficient financial means to be able to provide a home to the loved one under the visa permissions, and also to be able to take care of their emotional, educational and financial and sustenance needs.
So, in that regard, the Immigration Department are looking to see that the sponsor literally can put a roof over the head of their loved one and food on the table of their loved one, in addition to all the other stuff that I mentioned as well.
