I am likely to convert from Employment Visa to Dependant Vusa sometime this year. Does the duration of my employment visa carry over to depantnat visa in regards to becoming a permanent resident?
For instance, I have been in Hong Kong under employment for 4 consecutive years, if I get dependant visa to a local resident would that mean I need 3 more year to PR status? Or I have to start again with the 3-3 rule for 7 years?
Many thanks guys, you’ve been a big help during my stay in HK 😊

ImmD will issue you a new dependant visa with a new limit of stay (your employment visa status comes to an end and with it the limit of stay). However, the time spent under employment status will not be lost and will definitely accrue for PR purposes assuming you activate the dependant status whilst your employment status remains valid.
