Under the Immigration Ordinance, a person who belongs to one of the following categories of persons is a permanent resident of the HKSAR and enjoys the Right of Abode (ROA) in the HKSAR :

a. A Chinese citizen born in Hong Kong before or after the establishment of the HKSAR

b. A Chinese citizen who has ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for a continuous period of not less than seven years before or after the establishment of the HKSAR.

c. A person of Chinese nationality born outside Hong Kong before or after the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to a parent who, at the time of birth of that person, was a Chinese citizen falling within category (a) or (b).

- A person's ROA by virtue of his being a permanent resident of the HKSAR under this category can only be exercised upon the establishment of his status as such a permanent resident by his holding of -

(a) a valid travel document issued to him and of a valid certificate of entitlement also issued to him and affixed to such travel document;
(b) a valid HKSAR passport issued to him; or
(c) a valid permanent identity card issued to him.
