Since 1 January 1972 (when the numbers entering legally started escalating) to date, the total figure for legal arrivals excluding CPG passport holders is 207,937. 120,840 of these, ie Overseas Chinese and Non-Kwangtung residents 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 11,315 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 15,302 of whom 9,771 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).
