As one of the convenient pathways to quickly obtain Hong Kong residency, the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme has been highly 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, stated in the "2022 Policy Address" that the annual quota for the "Quality Migrant Admission Scheme" would be suspended for two years starting from January 1, 2023. At the same time, the approval process has been optimized to attract more world-class talent to Hong Kong.
