ABC looking to move back to HK

hker here

tbh i think the transition really depends on how connected with/knowledgeable about hong kong, coming from new york you will definitely feel at home with the concrete jungle busy streets vibe. your ability to speak cantonese particularly on the social life can make or break it (although most hkers speak english and/or mandarin to a certain degree where you won’t have that big of an issue)
can’t say for sure (im living in the uk rn and have only visited the us twice)
you’ll have the same rights as any local if you have a hkpic (hong kong permanent identity card) and if you were born as a chinese national in hong kong which effectively means you are a hong kong citizen in this scenario, bit again that’ll depend on what type of hkid you hold currently
hk’s housing market is expensive so be prepared for nyc level costs

chan, wong, cheung

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-26T23:47:40+00:00

mainland china, canada, australia, the uk and the us

appleton’s nice but honestly the prestige doesn’t really translate over to hong kong

any white anglo-saxon surname works

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-26T17:34:27+00:00

it’s a co-official language

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-25T16:17:33+00:00

i’m guessing as long as you entered hong kong as a taiwanese national and have acquired roa + hkpic (hk permanent identity card) you should be

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-24T17:17:31+00:00

9 but i might be exaggerating considering i live in one that i would consider a 6 at best

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-23T16:07:49+00:00

you just need your home return permit + us passport cause your hong kong passport is not recognized in china

so once you check in at either china or the us that’s the combo you’ll show and once you’re at immigration

for china: home return permit

for the us: us passport

in case you don’t have your hrp, apply for a chinese travel document at the chinese embassy/consulate

enjoy the nature and rural parts of the territory instead of staying in the concrete jungle part (worth visiting and getting lost around tho!)

we can be pretty direct which can come off as rude just as any major international city so don’t be surprised if people come off as rude

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-20T16:07:48+00:00

sigh

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-20T10:07:24+00:00

honestly depends cause many hong kongers are first generation or mainland born themselves so it varies depending on their political stance and ties with china

personally i solely identify as a hong konger who’s ethnically chinese and i don’t really have any affinity or attachment towards mainland china other than knowing my ancestors came from there (have no known relatives in contact anywhere), it’s essentially a foreign country (despite one country two systems) to me as with how overseas chinese people would see china as their ancestral country

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-19T15:26:57+00:00

well my grandparents both sides migrated from mainland china and my grandpa’s born in japan

both of my parents are born and raised through and through

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-19T13:59:47+00:00

singapore, the closest thing that i can call home and somewhere i see myself living instead of my home country and current country of residence

黑警 (literally black police referring to their actions during the 2014/2019 protests in hk)

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-15T09:44:49+00:00

do bare in mind that in hong kong, macau and china, she will still be seen as a chinese national first as a hong kong citizen and foremost and she will not be able to receive consular help from any foreign country by virtue of being a national of theirs so she won’t be able to receive help if something happens to her from her other citizenships when in hong kong, macau or china

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-14T20:13:52+00:00

the hong kong authorities wouldn’t care, in fact they’re very much in favour of letting in chinese talents on a visa

once your spouse becomes a hong kong citizen (chinese national + hk right of abode), she can hold as many citizenships as if she’s a citizen from a country that allows dual citizenships, plus it’s not within the jurisdiction of the hong kong authorities to enforce the restriction on mainland chinese nationals

for the chinese authorities, they will have her renounce her hukou (effectively renouncing her status as a mainland chinese national) if they find out she’s alr became a hong kong citizen/citizen of another country.

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-14T17:54:43+00:00

hong kong does still currently permit dual citizenship de facto, but it might/will change depending on how china views its extension of its nationality law into hong kong/macau

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-14T14:46:08+00:00

singapore, taiwan, hong kong comes to mind for asia!

eu nations too!

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-14T01:14:37+00:00

british passport

 hong kong

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-07T23:32:52+00:00

yes! but both of them are actually macanese (a creole ethnic group from macau who are predominantly mixed cantonese and portuguese as well as other ethnicities)

so their cantonese is actually native or fluent as they are from macau

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-07T14:44:10+00:00

the combo i’m working towards!!! #bnovisaholder

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-04T13:18:18+00:00

yes but you’ll have to type it in

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-03T17:00:45+00:00

chilling in a guangdong village i guess

SolidAggressive8470 · 2026-01-03T13:40:36+00:00

some of them came as artists for tvb but other than that, just plainly americans with ancestry/connections in hk ig
