Recently, the Hong Kong Immigration Department updated the entry guidelines for the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, with the following updates to the notes regarding the "annual income" eligibility criteria:


  Annual income refers to taxable employment or business income, including salary, allowances, stock options, and profits derived from companies owned by the applicant. Regarding business income, generally, applicants must have continuously held shares in the relevant company for the entire assessment year prior to submitting their application to calculate their annual income derived from the profits of their owned companies. Income generated from personal investments will not be included. In other words, temporary share transfers or newly established companies will no longer be accepted!


Significant Adjustments to the Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme Category A Application Rules


  The "sudden" adjustments to Hong Kong's talent introduction policy have become the new norm, and further refinements or increased thresholds may occur in the future. Applicants should maintain real-time awareness of policy trends. It is recommended that eligible applicants prepare their materials as soon as possible to seize the policy window and avoid missing opportunities due to rule changes.


  If you are interested in obtaining Hong Kong residency, you can apply through two popular methods: the New Capital Investor Entry Scheme and the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme. The New Capital Investor Entry Scheme has no scoring requirements, no quota restrictions, no educational requirements, and no residency requirements. Once approved, you can work and start a business freely in Hong Kong, and the entire family benefits from one approval, with an investment starting from HKD 30 million for a quick family residency in Hong Kong. The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme requires no investment, no prior employer sponsorship, no asset requirements, and no scoring requirements. One application allows the spouse and minor children to accompany, with free entry and exit from Hong Kong.


  Interested investors should act quickly to apply and benefit early! Immigration is a comprehensive planning process, and choosing a reputable, professional, and well-regarded immigration agency is crucial! A capable immigration company can truly assist applicants in successfully completing their immigration process.
