QUESTION
Hi
When applying for the right of abode in Hong Kong for the whole family .. if I put in 9 years worth of my husband’s tax forms and 9 years’ worth of rental contracts for our flat do I need to any any proof for myself and children (18, 16 & 13) .. all 3 of whom are now at boarding school in the UK.
Does it matter that they have studied away as they are still resident here?
We all have dependant visas.
Thanks!
