Yesterday, the Director of the Hong Kong Immigration Department, the Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, and the President of the Hong Kong TTPS Talent Service Association came to a seminar onThe official live broadcast of Gao Cai's renewal.
Answered a lot of key information about the renewal of the application for the past 1 year, all of which are the essence:
About the renewal of high-talent
If it's looking for an employerIf the average monthly income reaches more than 20,000 yuan, it must be a real employeeThere are income tax and MPF in Hong Kong. If the previous 3 points are satisfied, Gao Cai can renew his visa even if he is not often in Hong Kong (note: he is not always in ≠ he is not there all year round).
If you are self-employed to start a company, mandatory requirements for funds, personnel size, etcBut at least there should be office spaceand when renewing, there must be materials that can prove the normal operation of the companyIt is not necessary to hire local employees.
Summary:
The core of the renewal of the high-talent visa is that the main applicant has a job and income in Hong Kong, as long as logical materials can be provided at the time of renewal, it can be renewed. It is useless to buy a property and spend a large amount of money in Hong Kong without income.
This time, the official also clearly emphasized that it does not discriminate against any industryYou can do anything in any industry, which can be unrelated to the occupation at the time of the previous applicationBut it must be consistent with academic qualifications.
Even if the doctor goes to open a coffee shop to renew his visa, he will not necessarily be rejected, but it depends on the degree of contribution to Hong Kong. But it's definitely not okay to be a chef, because it doesn't match your academic qualifications.
And the sooner you have an income flow, the better, it is easy to be listed as a suspected anchor object, the review is more stringent, and it is easy to cancel the endorsement.
About Gaocai to permanent residence
Highly talented people who transfer to permanent residence and other talents plan to transfer to permanent residenceThe criteria are the same, to meet 2 conditions:
The first point is that the visa cannot be interrupted if you have held temporary status in Hong Kong for more than 7 consecutive years;
The second point is that the requirement of ordinary residence in the Hong Kong government must be met within 7 years.
More than half of the time each year is spent in Hong Kong to change permanent residence, and there are basically no questions
If not, the main question will be asked:
The reason and time of your absence.
Do you have a place to live in Hong Kong?
Do you have a job in Hong Kong?
Does your family have a long time in Hong Kong.
In addition, if you don't work for the first 2 years, you must find a job plan as soon as possible.
On the whole, although the application for Hong Kong's high-level talents is simple, the Hong Kong government will be cautious in the renewal process, and finally screen out those who sincerely want to stay.
