On May 16, 2023, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced the expansion of the "Hong Kong Talent List" from the current 13 professions to a significant 51!
The new list covers 51 professions across 9 industry sectors, including 13 medical professions related to healthcare services, such as doctors, dentists, and nurses; 11 specialized trades in the development and construction sector, such as construction specialists, civil engineering specialists, and surveying specialists; and 8 specialized talents in the creative industries, arts and culture, and performing arts, such as specialists in publishing, film, music, and digital entertainment. Individuals listed on the talent list, upon assessment, can enjoy the immigration facilitation of the "Quality Migrant Admission Scheme," which grants an additional 30 points under the "General Points Test." Successful applicants do not need to secure employment in Hong Kong prior to arrival and can bring their dependents to settle in Hong Kong.
The complete list is as follows:
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government formulated the first Hong Kong Talent List in 2018, aiming to attract high-quality talent more effectively and focus on supporting the high-value and diversified development of Hong Kong's economy. Following a review in 2023, the list now covers 51 professions across 9 industry sectors.
A government spokesperson stated: "The government's human resources policy has always focused on nurturing local talent while supplementing it with foreign talent, aiming to enrich Hong Kong's talent pool to meet the needs of socio-economic development. The expanded list will help us attract more high-quality talent to support the high-quality development of Hong Kong's economy and society."
As one of the convenient pathways to quickly obtain Hong Kong residency, the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme has been popular among immigration applicants since its launch in 2006, with its quota increasing from 1,000 to 2,000, and then to 4,000. On October 19, 2022, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, John Lee, pointed out in the "2022 Policy Address" that starting from January 1, 2023, the annual quota for the "Quality Migrant Admission Scheme" will be removed for a period of two years. The approval process will also be optimized to attract more world-class talent to Hong Kong.
Applicants can choose to obtain points through the "General Points Test" or the "Achievement-based Points Test," allowing them to bring their spouses and unmarried children under 18 to settle, live, work, and study in Hong Kong. The application conditions for the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme are flexible; as long as the applicant meets the requirements, there is no need for any monetary investment or prior employment offer from a local employer. After arriving in Hong Kong, they can freely choose their work and residence; one application can lead to quick approval for the entire family, offering multiple advantages!
