Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme

What Is the Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme?

The Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS) is a talent admission scheme launched by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, aimed at attracting outstanding talent from around the world to settle and develop in Hong Kong. Applicants do not need to secure employment with a Hong Kong employer in advance. They are assessed through either the General Points Test or the Achievement-based Points Test, and can submit an application upon reaching the required score threshold. Upon approval, applicants receive a Hong Kong residence visa. After meeting the ordinary residence requirement of 7 years, they may apply for Hong Kong permanent resident status.

Key distinctions: The Hong Kong QMAS does not require applicants to obtain a Hong Kong job offer in advance; the General Points Test targets ordinary highly educated talent with work experience; the Achievement-based Points Test targets outstanding top-tier industry talent. After approval, the applicant's spouse and unmarried children under 18 years of age may simultaneously apply for dependent visas to accompany them to Hong Kong.

In one sentence: The Hong Kong Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals (ASMTP) relies on sponsorship through employment with a Hong Kong employer; the Hong Kong QMAS relies on individual background scoring without the need to find an employer in advance, making it a popular pathway for mainland families planning for Hong Kong identity.

Why Should Enterprises / Individuals Apply for the Hong Kong QMAS?

Demand from mainland families planning for Hong Kong identity has been rising year by year, and many applicants confuse the QMAS, ASMTP, and Hong Kong study migration. The ASMTP requires sponsorship by a Hong Kong employer, and Hong Kong study migration requires full-time study; whereas the QMAS requires no advance job search, no investment, and no study in Hong Kong — applicants can apply as long as they meet the score requirements.

Applying for the Hong Kong QMAS can help applicants:
  • Obtain a Hong Kong residence visa with the freedom to travel to and from Hong Kong
  • Enable spouses and minor children to apply for dependent visas concurrently
  • Allow children to enjoy Hong Kong public education and pursue the DSE pathway to higher education
  • Apply for Hong Kong permanent resident status and a Hong Kong SAR passport after meeting the residence requirement
  • Enjoy Hong Kong's low tax rates, international-standard healthcare, and visa-free access to multiple countries
  • Expand Hong Kong business resources and establish cross-border business arrangements
  • Facilitate asset planning, cross-border investment and financing, and bank account opening
Who Is Suitable to Apply for the Hong Kong QMAS?
  • Professionals and corporate executives with a bachelor's degree or above and years of work experience
  • Families wishing to plan a Hong Kong DSE education pathway for their children
  • Cross-border business practitioners who need to frequently travel to Hong Kong for business
  • Business owners and listed company executives who need Hong Kong identity for asset and tax planning
  • Top-tier industry talent and outstanding individuals who meet the Achievement-based Points Test criteria
  • Applicants who do not wish to invest, do not want to leave their jobs for full-time study, have no Hong Kong employer, and hope to obtain Hong Kong identity

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic requirements for applying to the Hong Kong QMAS?

QMAS is divided into the General Points Test and the Achievement-based Points Test. General Points Test: scoring based on dimensions such as age, education, work experience, language, and family background; a total of 80 points is sufficient for submission; the Achievement-based Points Test targets outstanding talents, and those who meet the conditions can directly obtain full marks and approval. Applicants must have no criminal record and be in good health.

Does the QMAS require finding a Hong Kong employer in advance?

No. The biggest feature of QMAS is that there is no need to obtain a Hong Kong enterprise employment offer in advance; after approval, one may freely choose whether to work or start a business in Hong Kong.

After QMAS approval, can the spouse and children obtain Hong Kong status together?

Yes. After the main applicant obtains QMAS approval, the spouse and minor children under 18 years of age may simultaneously apply for dependent visas and move to Hong Kong together for residence and schooling.

Does applying for Hong Kong QMAS require an interview?

Not necessarily. In most cases, materials are reviewed; for some applicants, the Immigration Department will arrange an online interview to verify the applicant's work background and Hong Kong development plan.

Does obtaining a QMAS visa mean Hong Kong permanent residency?

No. The first QMAS approval is generally a 3-year visa; subsequent timely renewals are required, maintaining connection with Hong Kong, and satisfying ordinary residence for 7 years before one may apply for Hong Kong permanent resident status.
