Will what has been done before impact on a Hong Kong Prolonged Visitor Visa out of policy application now?
QUESTION
I have a general question regarding conditions of stay for a Hong Kong prolonged visitor visa.
On the Hong Kong Immigration website it says:
“Subject to the following conditions of stay:
(a) he shall not take any employment, whether paid or unpaid:
(b) he shall not establish or join in any business; and
(c) he shall not become a student at a school, university or other education institution. “
Does being owner of a business fall into one of these categories ?
Considering that the company was incorporated in Hong Kong by other persons a few years ago, and bought before applying for such visa ?
