This Scheme is a quota-based entrant scheme. It 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. 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, and complete for quota allocation with other applicants. Successful applicants under the Scheme may bring their spouse and unmarried dependent children under the age of 18 to Hong Kong provided that they are capable of supporting and accommodating their dependants on their own financial resources without relying on public assistance in Hong Kong.
The scheme is not applicable to nationals of Afghanistan, Cambodia, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, Nepal and Vietnam.
There are two tests under the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme:
General Points Test
The prevailing passing threshold is 6 out of 12.
Only applicants meeting the passing threshold could submit their applications via the online application system. Interested applicants are advised to assess whether their credentials are adequate to meet the passing threshold before submitting an application. The passing threshold is subject to change from time to time without prior notice.
CALCULATE IMMIGRATION POINTS
Achievement-based Points Test
The Scheme also caters for the entry of individuals with exceptional talent or skill who have outstanding achievements. They may choose to be assessed under a separate Achievement-based Points Test. Requirements under this assessment route are very high. Those who are considered to have met one of the assessment criteria under this assessment route listed below will pass the assessment route and be selected for further assessment by the Assessment Panel. Those who could not meet any of the criteria will fail the assessment route, and their applications will be refused immediately.
The assessment criteria under this assessment route include the following:
i. the applicant has received an award of exceptional achievement (e.g. Olympic medal, Nobel prize, national/international award); and
ii. the applicant can show that his/her work has been acknowledged by his/her peers or has contributed significantly to the development of his/her field (e.g. lifetime achievement award from industry).
Have received professional and helpful consulting services from Prism. Especially appreciated the calm and clear guidance from Shamsa. She has helped us navigate a complicated and stressful Immigrations process. Highly recommended!
