Entry for Employment

Hong Kong maintains an open and liberal policy towards entry for employment. Foreigners who possess special skills, knowledge or experience of value to and not readily available in Hong Kong, or who are in a position to make substantial contributions to its economy are welcome to come to work. In the light of social and economic developments in Hong Kong and elsewhere, the coverage of the policy was expanded in July 2003 to allow nationals/residents of more countries/territories to take up employment in Hong Kong. These people, after having ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for a continuous period of not less than seven years and having taken Hong Kong as their place of permanent residence, may apply to become Hong Kong permanent residents in accordance with the law. During the year, 15 774 professionals and persons with technical, administrative or managerial skills from more than 100 countries/territories were admitted for employment.
