I. Introduction

This guidebook sets out the entry arrangements for persons who wish to enter/stay in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) for employment as professionals. 2.

The GEP does not apply to Chinese residents of the Mainland of China (the Mainland), who may apply to come to work under the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals (hereafter “ASMTP”). 3. Applicants who are/were non-local students1 and have obtained an undergraduate or higher qualification in a full-time and locally-accredited local programme 2 in Hong Kong (hereafter “non-local graduates”) may apply to stay/return and work in the HKSAR under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (hereafter “IANG”). 4. The GEP, ASMTP and IANG are all quota-free and non-sector specific. 5. The GEP and IANG do not apply to nationals of Afghanistan, Cuba, Laos, Korea (Democratic People's Republic of), Nepal and Vietnam. II. General Employment Policy (GEP) Eligibility Criteria

6. Applicants who possess special skills, knowledge or experience of value to and not readily available in the HKSAR may apply to come to work under the GEP. 7. An application for a visa/entry permit to take up employment under the GEP may be favourably considered if:

(a) there is no security objection and no known record of serious crime in respect of the applicant;

(b) the applicant has a good education background, normally a first degree in the relevant field, but in special circumstances, good technical qualifications, proven professional abilities and/or relevant experience and achievements supported by documentary evidence may also be accepted;

(c) there is a genuine job vacancy; (d) the applicant has a confirmed offer of employment and is employed in a job

relevant to his academic qualifications or work experience that cannot be readily taken up by the local work force; and

(e) the remuneration package including income, accommodation, medical and other fringe benefits is broadly commensurate with the prevailing market level for professionals in the HKSAR.

Immigration. 2 Local programmes refer to those programmes leading to degrees awarded by local degree-awarding institutions whereas non-local programmes

refer to those programmes leading to degrees awarded solely by non-local institutions, irrespective of whether the programmes are jointly run by local and non-local institutions.

Successful applicants other than those from the Mainland, whilst residing in the HKSAR, will be issued with a visa/entry permit label to be affixed onto their travel documents. Extension of Stay

38. Persons admitted under the IANG will normally be granted an initial stay of 12 months on time limitation only without other conditions of stay upon entry. They may apply for extension of stay in the HKSAR within four weeks before their limit of stay expires. Upon applying for extension, non-local graduates are required to have secured an offer of employment which is at a level commonly taken up by degree holders and the remuneration package is at market level. For those who have established or joined in business in the HKSAR, they are required to produce proof of their business. Successful applicants will normally be permitted to remain on time limitation only without other conditions of stay on the 2-2-3 years pattern. Conditions of Stay

39.

V. Entry of Dependants 40. Applicants admitted under the GEP, ASMTP and IANG may apply to bring in their spouse and unmarried dependent children under the age of 18 to the HKSAR under the prevailing dependant policy. Persons admitted or applying for admission under the respective arrangements will be the sponsors of their accompanying dependants to the HKSAR. An application for admission of a dependant may be favourably considered if normal immigration requirements and the following criteria are met:

- 9 -

(a) there is reasonable proof of a genuine relationship between the dependant and the sponsor;

(b) there is no known record to the detriment of the dependant; and (c) the sponsor is able to support the dependant’s living at a standard well above the

subsistence level and provide him/her with suitable accommodation in the HKSAR.

41. This entry arrangement does not apply to: (a) former Mainland Chinese residents residing in the Macao SAR who have acquired

residence in the Macao SAR through channels other than the One-way Permit Scheme; and

(b) nationals of Afghanistan and Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of). 42. The length of stay of such dependants will normally be linked to that of their sponsors. Any subsequent applications for extension of stay will be considered only when the applicant continues to meet the eligibility criteria for entry for residence as dependants and the sponsor remains a bona fide Hong Kong resident living in the HKSAR. These dependants are not prohibited from taking up employment or studies in the HKSAR under the existing policy. VI. Other Information 43. In general, unless a person has the right of abode or right to land in the HKSAR, he/she requires a visa/entry permit to work in the HKSAR. While each application is determined on its individual merits, an applicant should meet normal immigration requirements (such as holding a valid travel document with adequate returnability to his/her country of residence or citizenship; be of clear criminal record and raise no security or criminal concerns to the HKSAR; have no likelihood of becoming a burden on the HKSAR, etc.) as well as the relevant specific eligibility criteria detailed above before he/she may be considered for the grant of a visa/entry permit. It should be noted that the eligibility criteria may be subject to change from time to time without prior notice. Please check the Immigration Department’s website at www.immd.gov.hk for up-to-date information. Re-entry into the HKSAR

44. Non-permanent residents of the HKSAR, irrespective of their nationality and type of travel document held, do not require a re-entry visa/entry permit to enter the HKSAR provided that they return within the currency of their permitted limit of stay and that the circumstances upon which they have acquired their residential status remain unchanged. Right of Abode

Payment of Fees

46. If the application is submitted to the Immigration Department directly, payment of fees should be made upon collection of the visa/entry permit in cash, by EPS or by cheque. The cheque should be crossed, made payable to “The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region”, properly dated and signed. 47. If the application is submitted to an overseas Chinese diplomatic and consular mission or the Immigration Division of the Beijing Office or the Immigration Division of the SHETO, the visa/entry permit fee should be paid directly to the Chinese diplomatic and consular mission or the Immigration Division of the Beijing Office or the Immigration Division of the SHETO as appropriate. Processing Time

48. Applications submitted under the IANG by non-local fresh graduates take about two weeks to process upon receipt of all the required documents. It normally takes four weeks to process other visa/entry permit applications for employment upon receipt of all the required documents. The Immigration Department will not be able to start processing the application unless all the required documents and information have been received. 49. All applications are processed and determined by the Immigration Department. Approval of applications is entirely discretionary and is subject to changes in government policies. The Director of Immigration reserves absolute discretion to refuse any application even if the application meets all eligibility criteria. Warning

50. It is an offence to make false statements or representations to an immigration officer. To verify the authenticity of the information and documents submitted with a visa application, field visits may be conducted. A person who knowingly and wilfully makes a statement or gives information which he/she knows to be false or does not believe to be true shall be guilty of an offence under the Laws of Hong Kong and any such visa/entry permit issued or permission to enter or remain in the HKSAR granted shall have no effect.
