How to get HKSAR Passport?

A person is eligible to apply for a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Passport if he/she is:

• a Chinese National;
  
  a permanent resident of the HKSAR; and
  
  a holder of a valid Hong Kong permanent identity card.

Chinese National

A person is regarded as of Chinese nationality if he/she is a Hong Kong resident:

• (a) of Chinese descent who was born in Hong Kong or other parts of China; or
  
  (b) who fulfils the criteria of Chinese nationality in the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China.

If the person concerned has declared a change of nationality and is no longer a Chinese national, he/she is not eligible for a HKSAR Passport.
