Certificate of No Criminal Record (Certificate of Good Citizenship)

"Certificate of No Criminal Record" (commonly known as "Certificate of Good Citizenship") is a fee-based service provided by the Hong Kong Police Force. The 'Certificate of No Criminal Record' issued is only for the application of various types of entry visas (including tourism, study and residence, etc.) and adoption of children. When applying for citizenship with overseas residency, the local immigration/immigration office has the opportunity to ask the applicant to provide a file that discloses whether the applicant has a criminal record. In this case, the applicant must go to Wan Chai Police Headquarters in person to apply for a "Certificate of No Criminal Record", or "Certificate of Good Citizenship", to prove that he has no criminal record in the past.

For example, the United States will depend on whether the applicant's case is equivalent to three types of crimes under the local immigration law (for reference only, please check with the relevant lawyer for the actual situation):

1. crime of moral turpitude

Such as serious drink driving, robbery, fraud, assault, stealing from others, etc.

2. Drug crime

such as drug addiction and possession of drugs

3. Aggravated felony

Such as murder, kidnapping, money laundering, tax evasion, serving more than 1 year in prison for crimes such as theft, forgery of certificates, bribery, etc.

Immigration petitions may be denied if the crime falls within the above categories; if the crime does not fall within the above categories, the applicant should file a petition stating why your case is being treated specially, which should be handled by USCIS on a case-by-case basis Review and grant. Applicants should note that if they have been involved in a minor criminal case in the past, they are a first-time offender and have no other criminal record. In addition, as long as the crime is not committed within 3 years, the criminal record will still be displayed on the Good Citizen Certificate, but it may be regarded as "expired".

Account deposit certificate

Entrepreneurial immigration, skilled immigration , spouse immigration, etc. are very common, because spouse immigration is sponsored by a spouse with local nationality (as a "guarantor"), and the Immigration Bureau requires the "guarantor" to show the family deposit file to prove that the "guarantor" can support as a recipient. Expenses for the partner of the dependent immigrant. Since the above-mentioned visas have local work rights, the Immigration Bureau generally does not require too high a deposit amount, that is, between thousands and 10,000 yuan. Financial proof can be proved through different documents, the following are examples of financial proof:

have stable income

In addition, it is necessary to have stable overseas receipts, such as property rents, pensions, annuities, etc.

Immigrant Health Report (Physical Examination Report) and Medical Insurance

Countries hope to collect talents and elites from abroad, and try to avoid immigrant people from bringing burdens to local society and economy. One of the common entry conditions is that applicants are required to produce a health report/medical report. Common infectious diseases that can lead to immigration applications include:

• tuberculosis
• syphilis
• gonorrhea
• leprosy
• Infectious diseases requiring quarantine, such as cholera, diphtheria, smallpox, yellow fever, etc.
• "Public health emergencies of international concern" as defined by the World Health Organization, such as polio, smallpox, SARS, influenza, etc.

Generally, the medical report should show that the applicant has received common vaccinations such as mumps, measles, rubella, rotavirus, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Depending on the applicant's year of birth, when he was a child, either had the opportunity to be vaccinated at the health center or had never been vaccinated.

Some countries require applicants to purchase local health insurance so as not to burden the local public health system. In addition to local medical insurance, the local government has the opportunity to accept Hong Kong to purchase medical insurance, but the scope of protection must cover the whole world, or at least the applicant's stay in the local area. For example, if the visa period is 5 years, the medical insurance is valid for 5 years.
