Talent import plan to launch

April 28, 2015

The Immigration Department will launch a pilot scheme on May 4 allowing second-generation migrants to stay in Hong Kong.

 

Speaking at a press conference today, Assistant Director of Immigration Law Chun-nam said the scheme has no quota and applicants are not required to secure a job before entry.

 

Applicants must be aged 18 to 40, born overseas, have good education, and be well-versed in Chinese or English. They must start a job or business when renewing their stay after one year.

 

The department will also relax the stay arrangements for various talent admission schemes, and revise the scoring system for quality migrants to attract talent with excellent education backgrounds or international work experience.

 

"In view of the ageing population and shrinking labour force in Hong Kong, we need to ensure our admission schemes can attract and retain talent, professionals and entrepreneurs from outside Hong Kong to support our economic development," Mr Law said.
