If you find yourself often in Hong Kong as a frequent Visitor is it lawful and / or possible to rent an apartment in order to keep accommodation expenses down…

2555 continuous (or cumulative) days in Hong Kong for the right of abode? Surely not?

QUESTION

I’m an Expat based in Thailand & often come to Hong Kong for meetings or transit for business trips to China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

 Let’s say roughly 10-14 days a month, with an average of 2-3 entries.

Since hotel costs are ticking up & I can’t leave documents in a safe place, I’m considering renting a 850 sqf apartment in Wanchai.

Would this be a problem for Immigration?

I’m on the frequent traveler program & get 3 months entry visa.

Thank you for your feedback
