As a Hong Kong resident, there are many benefits that can be enjoyed, but the most surprising is the "national distribution of sugar".
Speaking of "all-people distribution of sugar", there have been five times in Hong Kong's history. As long as they are permanent residents, everyone is entitled to:
6000 cash in 2011
4000 cash in 2018
10,000 cash in 2020
5000 coupons for 2021
10,000 coupons for 2022
The first two people distributed sugar
That's right! Over the years, the Hong Kong SAR government has either found real money or issued consumer coupons in order to share the economic achievements with the citizens, or to relieve people's hardships during the epidemic.
"Generous" is really enviable!
In previous years, the joy of pie is almost always local, and non-permanent residents have no share.
But now, non-permanent residents of Hong Kong can also receive "sugar"!

Non-permanent residents can also receive money
In February this year, the "Financial Budget Statement" released by the Hong Kong government stated that it would give "qualified" Hong Kong residents a consumption voucher of HK$10,000 per person.
The Hong Kong residents here are mainly Hong Kong permanent residents and new arrivals (new arrivals generally refer to those who come to Hong Kong with a one-way permit, not those who come to Hong Kong to study and work with a Hong Kong and Macau Permit).
This year's "Consumer Coupon Program" is divided into two phases, and the first phase distributed HKD 5,000 in April.
On June 13, "Cai Ye" Chen Maobo announced the second phase of distribution arrangements, which greatly relaxed the scope of eligibility for consumer coupons!
This time, in addition to permanent residents and new arrivals, the new category is "Hong Kong residents eligible to become permanent residents".
What does it mean to be eligible?
According to the explanation of the SAR government, Hong Kong residents who are not yet eligible to become permanent residents, such as professionals, professionals, entrepreneurs, and those who come to Hong Kong for further studies, can all receive half-value consumption coupons.
Although it is only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars, this is the first time in history!
Therefore, many non-permanent residents will be surprised that it is really "amazing" that they can receive consumer coupons this time.
Since this precedent has been established, there is a high probability that future consumer coupons will also include non-permanent residents.
Here's one more reason to get Hong Kong identity~

Don't miss it if you meet the following conditions
Newly Eligible Persons Include
? Be 18 years old on or before June 13
? Permanent residents or new arrivals on or before June 13
? Eligible to become permanent residents, including professionals, professionals, entrepreneurs, and those who come to Hong Kong to study in Hong Kong through different schemes, can get half-value coupons
However, it should be noted that the following restrictions:
First, be 18 years old by June 13.
Secondly, those who have left Hong Kong permanently, or who intend to leave Hong Kong permanently, are not eligible to receive consumption vouchers this time.
Can I collect it if I have to leave Hong Kong under special circumstances?
For example, if you want to go to school, seek medical treatment, etc., as long as you have a reasonable reason, the Hong Kong government will still issue consumption coupons.
How much money can a non-permanent resident get?
The total amount of consumption coupons is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but non-permanent residents get "half-value consumption coupons", which is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars.
