It looks like I will get 6k in my travelling route then less spending money to go towards hk and more to oz and usa yay!! Btw there's a year limit from tegistration to collect it if u choose to collect in hk. Also you can grab the money from bank or post offices therefore it is not necessary to havd a hk bank account
Well the gov are proceeding the final detais through parliament so it should be up soon.. From my understanding whether u want the money to be transferred due to u r being overseas or whereby u r collecting it in HK banks or post offices, you will have to register your ID number first and it will take roughly take about 6 weeks for them to do some admin stuff, then when theres an all clear u will either be asked to enter your bank details or u will be given some sort of reference number (i think) to get the money and that will give u a limit of a year to collect it this is my prediction and rumours that i have heard btw
ahhh as long as they've given a time frame of roughly a year, that's cool cos I can prolly register/collect next time i go back then
