Does the employer company meet the qualifications for renewal?
Many reasons for the rejection of IANG visa renewals are due to the employer company's qualifications not meeting the standards, such as the company not having a physical office, not having actual business dealings, not employing local Hong Kong employees, or not providing MPF (Mandatory Provident Fund) for employees.

Is the applicant's occupation aligned with their educational background?
Many graduates from Hong Kong master's programs want to renew their IANG visas after graduation, but if they cannot find suitable positions, they may seek help from friends. For example, if a friend has job openings in a restaurant or nail salon, they might consider asking their friend to hire them to meet the requirement of having an "employer" for renewal. It is important to note that the industry and position the applicant engages in must correspond to their education and major.

Can the applicant contribute to Hong Kong's economy?
It is important to know that whether it is an IANG visa, Quality Migrant Admission Scheme, or Talent Scheme, the prerequisite for successful renewal is that you meet the standards of "talents needed in Hong Kong," with the most basic requirement being that your income is not lower than the average income level in Hong Kong. In the past two years, due to the pandemic, many friends engaged in insurance-related services have had their IANG renewal applications directly rejected due to not meeting performance standards.

Can you stay in Hong Kong stably?

Compared to other countries and regions, Hong Kong does not have a clear "immigration monitoring" policy. The official regulation is that one should not have a continuous absence from Hong Kong for more than six months in a year. However, in practice, if you can provide legitimate reasons proving that you had to leave Hong Kong and provide relevant documentation showing your strong ties to Hong Kong, the authorities may consider your situation.
