For many families who have immigrated to Hong Kong through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS) or the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), a common concern has always been: if a child's dependent status cannot be renewed for various reasons while they are studying at a Hong Kong school, resulting in a lapse in status, will it affect the child's studies?
Recently, the Secretary for Education of Hong Kong addressed this question during a live broadcast, providing a definitive answer: a lapse in Hong Kong status does not prevent students at Hong Kong schools from completing their studies; it only results in an increase in tuition fees (charged at the international student rate)!
For example: If Student X is enrolled in a Hong Kong school as a dependent but experiences a lapse in status during their sophomore year, losing their local student status, they can switch to non-local student status to continue their studies, but their subsequent tuition fees will increase!
As is well known, Hong Kong is a diverse region with world-renowned education, numerous international schools, and excellent academic performance, making it a preferred educational destination for many families. In recent years, many families have moved to Hong Kong for the sake of their children's education.
Hong Kong implements a "biliterate and trilingual" model (Chinese and English, Cantonese, Putonghua, and English). The level of English proficiency is high, and children begin learning English from kindergarten. In terms of language education, the focus is on application. At the same time, the Hong Kong education system integrates the dual characteristics of Chinese culture and Western education, featuring advanced educational concepts, a high degree of internationalization, flexible teaching methods, and an excellent educational environment. The rich international elements, high teaching quality, and alignment with the education systems of Europe and the United States provide a favorable environment for education in Hong Kong, which is why Hong Kong's education attracts so many parents.
Planning for a Hong Kong status for your children can provide them with more educational choices: children can enjoy Hong Kong's biliterate (Chinese, English) and trilingual (Cantonese, Putonghua, English) education, 12 years of free Chinese and English education, top-tier international schools, and the opportunity to apply to nearly 400 universities in Hong Kong, mainland China, or overseas by taking the "Hong Kong DSE Examination" in the future; they can also participate in the "Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students" to gain admission to prestigious 985 and 211 universities in mainland China.
Overall, possessing a Hong Kong status allows children to enjoy a wealth of educational resources. So, how can one obtain a Hong Kong status to support a child's education? Currently, it is a "golden window" for applying for Hong Kong status. If you are interested in planning for a Hong Kong status or are considering it for your children, please plan as early as possible to seize the policy dividends and benefit sooner!
The 2023 Policy Address of Hong Kong stated that the new "Capital Investment Entrant Scheme" is confirmed to be relaunched within the year, with details to be announced within this year! This is a major relaunch of Hong Kong's investment immigration program after an 8-year hiatus. With an investment starting from HKD 30 million, the whole family can quickly obtain Hong Kong status! Those interested, please reserve your quota quickly and call us for consultation immediately!
Currently, by obtaining Hong Kong status through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, as long as the applicant meets the requirements, there is no need to make any financial investment, no need to obtain a job offer from a local employer beforehand, and one can freely choose to work or reside after arriving in Hong Kong; one application allows the whole family to be approved quickly; children enjoy free bilingual education in Hong Kong; after obtaining permanent residency in Hong Kong, children can participate in the Joint Entrance Examination for Overseas Chinese Students to easily enter prestigious domestic universities or study abroad, which can be said to have multiple advantages!
In addition, the Top Talent Pass Scheme is also a popular choice for immigrating to Hong Kong. This scheme has no asset requirements, no scoring requirements, and no need for an employer. High-income individuals or graduates from the world's top 100 universities can apply, and one approval benefits the whole family.
