A Filipino man was refused bail by Hong Kong’s High Court on December 6 after overstaying his visa for 19 years.
Manuel C. Sy Jr. was discovered to have overstayed his visa after being arrested some weeks ago for stealing HK$54 (US$7) worth of items from a supermarket on Hong Kong Island, sunwebhk.com reports.
Sy arrived in Hong Kong in 1998. His mother, who is a permanent resident in the city, applied to keep him in Hong Kong as a dependant but her application was rejected by the Immigration Department. The reason is unknown.
The judge at Sy’s High Court hearing refused to post bail. Sy faces trial in Sha Tin Court on December 21 for breaching condition of stay.

Lushme Ghale It is not easy as there are requirements by the Immigration especially if their children were not born in Hongkong. The immigration requires the children to come to Hongkong every year while their application is being processed and.. The government also require the children to study in Hongkong for at least 1 year. There is also an age limig fir children applying for permanent residency. 18 years old and above are not qualified.
Their Hongkong Resident mother should apply for their children’s residency while they are still in their teens because their application will be denied or rejected by the immigration if the child is already 18 years old.
