If you want to apply for the Hong Kong Talent Scheme and have not been employed by a suitable Hong Kong company, you can self-employ by opening a company in Hong Kong. As long as the established company and the applicant meet the application requirements of the Talent Scheme, there is a chance of successful approval.

What are the requirements for the employer company under the Hong Kong Talent Scheme?
1,The company hiring talent must be registered in Hong Kong, have actual operations and tax records, and have a certain scale.
2,It must have the qualifications to hire mainland personnel, including industry contributions, tax amounts, and the number of local hires.
3,The company hiring talent can provide an employment letter from a Hong Kong employer.
4,The company can demonstrate that the hired person (the applicant for the Talent Scheme) has a specific or irreplaceable role in the company, such as enhancing or promoting the company's business development and competitiveness.

Who is suitable for applying for the Talent Scheme through self-employment?
1,Those with sufficient financial capability to bear the costs of operating a company.
2,Those who have a company in the mainland and wish to develop business in Hong Kong.
3,Establish a company in Hong Kong and send the main applicant to serve as the head or management of the Hong Kong company. (Note: The main applicant has served as a senior manager in the mainland company for more than 2 years.)

In fact, many mainland entrepreneurs and company executives are currently taking the opportunity to open branches in Hong Kong to apply for the Hong Kong Talent Scheme and obtain Hong Kong identity.

Although the requirements for the Hong Kong Talent Scheme are relatively simple, the approval time is short, and there are no quota restrictions, some applicants still face a significant reduction in the success rate of their applications due to insufficient preparation of materials from the Hong Kong employer company, such as company performance, operational data, and tax reports.
