Hong Kong Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals

What Is the Hong Kong Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals?

The Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals, referred to as the Hong Kong ASMTP, is a talent introduction policy launched by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. It allows local Hong Kong employers to employ Mainland residents with special skills, knowledge, or experience that are needed but unavailable in Hong Kong, to come to Hong Kong to engage in work commensurate with their professional abilities. Upon approval, the applicant obtains a Hong Kong work visa and, after meeting the usual residence requirement of 7 years, may apply for Hong Kong permanent resident status.

Key distinction: The Hong Kong ASMTP is not an investment immigration program; its core requirement is obtaining an offer from a compliant Hong Kong employer. The scheme has no quota, covers a wide range of industries, and applicants do not need to first obtain Hong Kong permanent residency. Upon approval, they may bring their spouse and minor children to live and study in Hong Kong together.

In one sentence: The Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme relies on a points-based application; the Hong Kong ASMTP relies on sponsorship through employment by a local Hong Kong employer, and is a mainstream pathway for Mainland talent to work in Hong Kong and obtain Hong Kong identity.

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

As demand among Mainland families for Hong Kong identity planning continues to rise, many people confuse the application logic of the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme and the ASMTP. Relying solely on the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme points system is highly competitive, and insufficient points can easily lead to refusal; for the ASMTP, as long as a genuine and compliant Hong Kong employer is found and the position matches the applicant's background, the application can be submitted.

Applying for the Hong Kong ASMTP can help applicants:

Obtain a Hong Kong work visa and legally work in Hong Kong
Spouse and minor children may apply for Hong Kong visas as dependents
Children can enjoy Hong Kong public education and the DSE pathway to further education
Apply for Hong Kong permanent resident status and a Hong Kong SAR passport after meeting the residence requirement
Enjoy Hong Kong's taxation, healthcare, and immigration convenience
Expand local Hong Kong business resources and build a cross-border business layout

Who Is Suitable to Apply for the Hong Kong ASMTP?

Mainland talent with a bachelor's degree or above and professional technical or management experience
Applicants planning to take up a position in Hong Kong who already have hiring intent from a Hong Kong company
Families hoping for their children to attend Hong Kong schools and plan for DSE further education
Corporate executives conducting cross-border business who need to travel frequently to and from Hong Kong
Business owners who need Hong Kong identity for asset planning in connection with Mainland financing or listing
Applicants who intend to obtain Hong Kong permanent residency but do not want to go through the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme points system and do not meet study immigration conditions
