About Working Visas

All non-Hong Kong residents who want to work, either as an employee or as an investor in a company in Hong Kong (Mainland Chinese investor cannot apply for investment visa as entrepreneur, but employment visa), will require a working visa through Employment or Investment as entrepreneurs respectively or under the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (“QMAS”) or Top Talent Pass Scheme (“TTPS”).

For Employment or Investment as entrepreneurs in HK, applicants must secure a job/establish a business in HK. The Immigration Department will usually examine 3 core areas:

  1. How beneficial the business of the employer or investor is to the Hong Kong economy, trade and industry.

  2. Is the applicant possesses extensive knowledge and experience in his/her field.

  3. That a local or resident worker could not fill the position.

It normally takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks to approve the employment visa/investment visa as entrepreneur applications.

The QMAS and the TTPS seeks to attract highly skilled or talented persons to settle in Hong Kong in order to enhance Hong Kong’s economic competitiveness. Successful applicants are not required to have secured an offer of local employment before their entry to Hong Kong for settlement. They will normally be granted an initial stay of 24 months without other conditions of stay who are free to take up and change employment or to establish or join in business in Hong Kong during their permitted stay without the need to seek prior approval from the Immigration.

For QMAS, all applicants are required to fulfill a set of prerequisites before they can be awarded points under one of the two points-based tests, namely the General Points Test and Achievement-based Points test.

For TTPS, applicants shall meet the eligibility criteria of one of the following categories:

  1. Category A: Persons with annual income reaching HK$25m or above, or its equivalent in foreign currency, in the year immediately preceding the date of application. Annual income means taxable employment or business income including salary, allowances, stock options and profits from self-owned companies. Income generated from person investment will not be taken into consideration;

  2. Category B: Degree graduates of the world’s top 110 universities with at least three years of work experience over the past five years immediately preceding the date of application; or

  3. Category C: Degree graduates of the world’s top 100 universities in the past five years immediately preceding the date of application with less than three years of work experience, subject to an annual quota which is to be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our professional agents work proactively with you/your company and the Immigration Department to ensure a smooth visa/admission/pass application with documents and information required so as to obtain the approval of from the Immigration Department in the shortest period.  Upon successful approval of the visa application, applicants are then eligible to apply for Hong Kong Identity Cards.
