Since 1 January 1972 (when the numbers entering legally started escalating) to date, the total figure for legal arrivals excluding CPG passport holders is 168,883. 100,271 of these, ie 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 9,808 of them have not done so and this suggests that they are no longer living in Hong Kong.
