Moving as a whole family
Flat rate for the family — and a filing that saves on fees
Status for the primary applicant and dependent visas for spouse and children. In Hong Kong, it is more efficient to do this in a single application: when submitted simultaneously, submission, no dependent fee is charged at all. And each family member from day one runs its own seven-year clock — time spent as a dependent counts toward the required period.
Who it suits. For families relocating together or following the primary applicant.
What is included
- ⚠️ We verify the essentials before any money changes hands: fly in on a visa-free 14-day stay and arrange status on the spot is not possible. A long-term Hong Kong visa must be arranged before entry, and being a tourist within the country does not change one’s status
- Primary status for the applicant under the selected scheme
- Dependent visas for a spouse and children under 18
- HKID for all family members
- The school question: which schools you can apply to based on your status
- We calculate the family budget for the first year
- We explain which events count toward your seven-year ordinary residency clock residence, what does and does not count, and which documents to start keeping from the first day
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- Hong Kong government fees: 230 HKD (approx. 30 $) for a visa or renewal, initial HKID identity card — free. Paid directly to the authority
- Apostille, notarization, and translation of documents in the country of issue
- Tuition and school fees
- Guaranteed approval: the decision rests with the Hong Kong Immigration Department
Russian nationals enter Hong Kong visa-free for 14 days. Entry is free — and that is exactly where people lose money. A long-term visa is processed before entry: a tourist already in Hong Kong cannot change their status on the spot. Coming for a scouting trip and applying from abroad won’t work, and leaving for a day trip to a neighbouring city and back — the border officer notices and asks questions. We work out this calendar before you buy your first ticket.
The second thing the market doesn’t tell you: permanent status in Hong Kong is granted after seven years of continuous ordinary residence, and that period resets easy. Time spent as a tourist does not count, time as a dependent or student — goes on, and any gap between visas resets the time already served. The Talent Visa for 24 months does not renew itself: to renew, you must show employment or your own business, and someone who arrives and doesn’t settle loses two years. Proving seven years will require lease agreements, tax files and bank statements that are impossible to find by year seven — they need to be collected from the start, not recalled at the end.
Submit applications for dependants at the same time as the main application. When applying simultaneously under the TTPS, GEP, ASMTP, IANG, and QMAS schemes and the investment fee for dependants is waived entirely. A separate submission later — 230 HKD per person.
The right of abode is granted to anyone who has lived in Hong Kong for at least seven years continuously. Time spent as a tourist does not count toward this period, nor does time spent as a dependent and as a student — it works, but a gap between visas breaks continuity. We have been tracking this counter from day one, not recalling it in year seven.
The exact amount for your situation is stated before we begin and confirmed in writing in the agreement. If it changes, you will be informed before payment, not after.
Flat rate for the family: main status, dependent visas, HKID for everyone, the school question and the first-year budget.
Fifth member and beyond — dependent visa and HKID in the same application.
Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Hong Kong government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: visa or extension — 230 HKD (approx. $30), initial HKID card — free. There is no VAT in Hong Kong. SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited in the cost of support — the same as for Mexico and Argentina. It is paid from the first minute: a breakdown of the Chilean case — these are two dates that must align, a category matching your income and an honest answer on whether you can make it in time. We hand over the roadmap with a schedule and budget, even if the conclusion is negative.
Other points
Housing rental and purchase, documents, bank accounts and taxes, schooling, driving licence — 39 services in Hong Kong, each has its own price.
