China has no doubt emerged as a superpower that no one can deny. The leap it has taken has made it an unrivaled destination for better employment and living. People find better employment opportunities and live a highly standardized life. Therefore, whether if you are planning to set up your business there or have an opportunity waiting for you to join their then immigration should be your first choice. But before visiting a new place, you must have information about all dos and donts.
There are different types of visas available for the Hong Kong Immigration. These are explained here below.
Let talk about Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS) visa in details:
The main motive of this visa is to seek out highly skilled professionals to immigrate to Hong Kong for the purpose of enhancing the country’s economy. Hong Kong Government tends to invite those immigrants who want to reside in their country seeking employment or for a startup business. The applicant under this visa has the freedom of bringing their spouse and dependent children provided that the applicant them financially on their own resources.
The Hong Kong government in the year 2006 implements a quota-based entrant scheme for this visa . This is one of the best ways for skilled professionals and entrepreneurs to pursue their careers in Hong Kong. To be eligible for a QMAS visa, the applicant must complete a prerequisite requirement for clearing the point-based system and getting the quota allocation.
The criteria for which the applicants are given points under this QMAS visa are listed below:
In order to score the minimum points in the points-based selection scheme, the applicant should complete all the eligibility criteria of this scheme. These minimum requirements are subject to change without any prior notice.
In this point system, the scores are given based on the following factors:
The minimum cutoff score for this visa is 80 out of 225 points. Once you get this score, you will be eligible to apply for QMAS visa.
The Hong Kong Government implements this system to attract immigrants with distinctive skills. This points-based system stands on the basis of the following factors:
A high honour or a distinctive achievement award like Nobel Prize or an Olympic Medal.
OR
Getting an acknowledgment for contributing to a particular field. For example: Getting a lifetime achievement award in a particular field will get you the required score.
The further procedure goes as follows:
Applicant Selection: A particular quota is allotted to the applicants. At the time of processing, the applicant must score the minimum cutoff marks as well as satisfy all the prerequisite requirement of visa filing. This scheme applies to both the General point system and the Achievement Based point system.
After you have complied with all necessary requirements, you will be ranked among other applicants based on your score. The concerned department selects your profile for further evaluation if you are among the higher-ranking candidates.
After that the decision will be made jointly by two parties. One of them is the Director of Immigration and the other one is the Advisory Committee (it consists of official and non-official members elected by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR). The socio-economic needs of Hong Kong and some other factors play a vital role in decision making. The Director would then receive a recommendation from the Advisory Committee for the allocation of quota for the different selection processes.
A high scoring applicant does not necessarily have to be a part of the quota allotment. After the whole evaluation procedure, the results will be published on the official Hong Kong immigration website.
Approval-in-Principle: Once a quota has been allocated to you in the above procedure, you will be receiving an approval letter. This letter is known as the Approval-in-Principle letter. This letter states that you have to come to Hong Kong for interview purposes. Before appearing for the interview, the applicant must have all their original documents readily available in front of the Immigration Department.
Note: Approval-in-Principle letter does not mean that your visa is guaranteed and you can live there permanently. Everything depends on your interview and the decision of the authorities.
Entry Visa or Entry Permit: After the whole tedious process of document verification, the Hong Kong Immigration Department gives you an entry visa or entry permit that will allow you to reside in Hong Kong.
