Hong Kong is a small place with borders on our doorstep so how much time do you need to be physically in Hong Kong to retain your Hong Kong investment visa?
QUESTION
I would like to know, if I am able to hold a visa in Hong Kong, then what is the minimum time per year I need to stay in Hong Kong to still qualify as a resident?
I travel a lot, but am looking to set up a business in Hong Kong and would like to become a resident in Hong Kong but am afraid I might be out of the country in large periods of time.
Thanks

Hi there, I am in Hong Kong as in a work visa here. This is my 6th year continuous work visa. Due to the current virus danger I wish to go back to my country for sometime. So how many months or days I can stay out of Hong Kong to continue the privilege of 7 years ( permanent resident). My employer is okay with the no pay leave till I come back and rejoin. If I go for a long leave does it affect my continuity?
