Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 405 Getting a Home-Return Permit

With the help of his neighbors and money, Sainz quickly obtained a formal Hong Kong identity.

The reason why we went to such great lengths to make it so complicated is to prepare for entering the mainland in the future.

The mainland's magic world has always been shrouded in mystery in the eyes of the West. There is very little communication between the two sides, and Sai is not sure about their attitude towards him.

Putting aside the magic world, the current leaders in the East are still ordinary people. From this point of view, Eastern magic should be in a hidden state just like the Western magic world.

It is good to live in seclusion. It means that as long as you enter the country through formal channels as an ordinary person, the possibility of being sniped will be greatly reduced.

When Grindelwald was causing trouble, a wizard convention was held. One of the candidates was an Oriental, but it is not known whether he was from the great Eastern country.

There is also Newt, who once delivered a Qilin in the jungle of Yunnan, proving from the side that the mainland's magical world is not absolutely xenophobic.

Regardless of the fact that the mainland's magic world is not xenophobic, it is always a good idea to make more preparations.

Sai's purpose of entering the mainland was to use a rocket to launch his own space station, not to fight a big battle with the Eastern magic world to prove his strength. He was already past the age where he could get pleasure from pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face.

Now that you are in Hong Kong Island, it is only natural to take the opportunity to inspect your industries in Hong Kong.

Before leaving, I returned to the alley again. The old neighbors were still chatting in the fixed position, "All the uncles are here." They put two bags of scattered gift cakes on the table.

"It's Chen kid, I thought you were gone."

"I am ready to leave. The business over there cannot be left unattended for a long time. I wanted to come and see you uncles before I leave."

"Have a heart."

There's no harm in spending a little money to deepen Chen Shu's impression in these people's minds, and it may come in handy at some point.

Chen Shu's identity was not newly created; he had prepared it long ago.

He entered Hong Kong Island on an international flight, and his entry and exit ports were officially registered. This includes the story's background on the British side, which can withstand investigation without a detailed visit.

Chen is the largest surname in Hong Kong Island, so it is very easy to meet someone who meets the requirements.

As long as it is someone who got lost in the early years, it will be fine.

The reason why Chen Degong was chosen among many candidates was because he was known as the Three Ghosts by the neighbors. This person was really suitable.

He is a compulsive gambler, has no house or land, is alone, and is heavily in debt. No one would suspect that Sai has any other intentions.

A normal person would not even have the time to hide when encountering such a guy. Unless there is a real unbreakable family bond, who would rush to recognize such a person as a relative?

This is also the reason why the neighbors easily believed that Chen Shu must be the nephew of San Gui who was stranded outside. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the young man came up and paid back 60,000 yuan first.

If San Gui had other assets under his name, some people might think that someone wanted to claim the inheritance, but everyone knows that San Gui has no money, and it is impossible that someone would come from afar to impersonate him just to inherit his 60,000 yuan debt.

If there are any, please give yourself a dozen of these scammers.

The fact that the three ghosts were beaten to death had little to do with Sai. Of course, he had no interest in rescuing such a bad guy. Seeing that the situation was almost resolved, he just kept him alive and let him go after completing the work of recognizing his relatives and registering his household registration.

It is also very easy to enter the system in Hong Kong. The truth is that in this era, Hong Kong nationals are considered second-class citizens compared to British natives.

It may be a little difficult to upgrade from Hong Kong citizenship to mainland citizenship, but it is quite simple to become a Hong Kong citizen from mainland citizenship.

There are a number of differences between Hong Kong citizens and local citizens in many aspects of civil rights.

The Eastern giant implements the "one country, two systems" policy in Hong Kong. Due to historical reasons, special provisions are made for Hong Kong Island in the Nationality Law.

One point is very important. After the return, all Hong Kong compatriots, regardless of whether they hold a "British Dependent Territories Citizen Passport" or a "British National (Overseas) Passport", are citizens of the great Eastern country.

Moreover, from July 7, citizens of the above-mentioned Eastern giant can continue to use valid documents issued by the British government to travel to other countries or regions, but they will not enjoy British consular protection in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other parts of the country.

Apart from the change in nationality, other rights of Hong Kong citizens have not changed. As for consular protection, what kind of consular protection do you enjoy in your own country?

The Nationality Law clearly states that as long as you have a local household registration in Hong Kong Island, you are a citizen of the Eastern great country. Then you can apply for a Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau Residents, commonly known as a "Home Return Permit", and you can travel between Hong Kong Island and the mainland normally.

At the current stage, a large number of local people are pessimistic about the future political environment and have applied for citizenship of other countries and immigrated away. Later, after the situation stabilized, many of the outflows returned, resulting in many people having dual citizenship.

The Special Administrative Region allows them to retain dual citizenship, but only recognizes their own nationality; passports of other countries can be used for travel.

After obtaining permanent residency in Hong Kong Island, Sainz immediately applied for a Home Return Permit at the import and export port under the identity of Chen Shu.

All procedures were followed very formally.

He applied, filled out forms, provided photos, and even used his real face to avoid unnecessary trouble due to the traces of magic on his body when traveling on the mainland.

In fact, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one cared about Hong Kong residents traveling to the mainland. At that time, people could carry hoes and cross the border to cultivate the land. Later, the control gradually became stricter, and a farmland permit was required to travel back and forth. Later, the management became even stricter, and a Home Return Permit was required. However, applying for a Home Return Permit is not difficult at all.

At that time, the mainland was poor and many people sneaked into Hong Kong Island, but very few people went back from Hong Kong Island. It was difficult to apply for a Hong Kong Entry Permit from the mainland, but it was very easy to apply for a "Home Return Permit" to travel to and from the mainland from Hong Kong Island.

This situation continues to the present day.

This brought great convenience to Lai Sai. Before the start of school, Chen Shu became a second-class British citizen who could travel freely between Hong Kong Island and the mainland.

In the current world view, wizards give people very little difference in senses. As long as the wizard himself does not do something strange, ordinary people will not be able to detect it at all. Even wizards and wizards, as long as they are not very close to each other or are not noticed by others when casting spells, it is difficult for them to detect each other.

During his time in Hong Kong Island, Sainz strictly adhered to the trajectory he set for himself and acted completely as if he were a Muggle. After all, he had experience as a Muggle in his lifetime and was not a true member of the British magical world. There was no flaw in his role as an ordinary person.

If he had no flaws, it meant that others had flaws. During the month he spent in Hong Kong Island, he discovered many people with special abilities hidden among ordinary people.

In order to keep a low profile, he did not make any rash contact.

The mission for this visit to Hong Kong has been completed, and it is time to return to Hogwarts.
