If you want to become a tax resident in Hong Kong, China, you must first complete an "Application Form for Certificate of Resident Status".

The Hong Kong authorities may refuse to issue a certificate of resident status if it is clear that the applicant is not entitled to the wage benefits under the allocation. Upon receipt of the application for processing, the competent authority will review the data provided and will most likely require the applicant to produce further data and meet the requirements for the application for a certificate of expatriate status. It usually takes 21 working days to settle an application. Unless the applicant requires it to be collected in person, the certificate of Resident Status will normally be sent by surface mail to the applicant's correspondence address.

Applicants should note that obtaining a certificate of resident status does not ensure the likely success of their application for wage allotment. The Internal Revenue Service makes the final decision on whether the applicant is eligible for wage distribution. The Inland Revenue Department will decide whether the applicant meets all the relevant criteria and is entitled to the relevant wage benefits.

For the purposes of the arrangement, a certificate of resident status issued to an applicant for a particular calendar year will normally serve as proof of the applicant's continuance in that calendar year and thereafter2A calendar year's resident status in Hong Kong, China.
