Since 1 January 1972 (when the numbers entering legally started escalating) to date, the total figure for legal arrivals excluding CPG passport holders is 189,764. 111,434 of these,i e Overseas Chinese and Non-Cantonese who arrived after 30 June 1972, were landed on 12 months limitation of stay and should have applied periodically for extensions of stay. However, our records show that 10,332 of them have not done so and this suggests that they are no longer living in Hong Kong. The total number of legal arrivals holding CPG passports without visas for Hong Kong since 1 January 1972 is 9,666, of whom 4,623 arrived since 1 August 1975 without visas for their final destination and are presumed to have remained here. (No breakdown of figures of CPG passport holders is available before August 1975).
