High Earners, Global Graduates and Specialists: Hong Kong’s Talent Visa Routes
Hong Kong has expanded its talent admission routes significantly in recent years, and the options available to high achieving professionals are now broader than before. The Top Talent Pass Scheme admits high earners and graduates from globally ranked universities without a pre-arranged job offer. The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme operates on a points basis across achievement and general streams. The IANG gives recent local university graduates a runway to find work and stay in the city. Each scheme is designed for a different profile.
Hong Kong Visa Services helps talent scheme applicants build strong, accurate applications for working in hong kong and guides them through the process from first assessment to HKID registration.
General Requirements Across Talent Schemes
- A clean personal background with no serious offences or security objections
- Academic transcripts, income evidence or graduation records as required by the specific scheme
- Degree certificates from recognised institutions
- For the Top Talent Pass Scheme: annual income above the specified threshold or a degree from a top ranked global university
- For the QMAS: a completed points assessment under the achievement or general stream
