From the results of the talent selection, the number of approved applicants has exceeded 400 for five consecutive rounds, indicating that the Hong Kong government has a significant demand for talent. Moreover, last year the government doubled the talent quota to 4,000 per year, which also shows the urgent need for talent.

Accelerated talent approval process

In this round of approved case numbers, 439 were issued in 2021, and 1 was issued in 2022. This data shows that the applicants who were previously waiting for selection have been approved, and the approval cycle for applications submitted this year will be further accelerated.

Significant increase in the number of talent applications

Since the pandemic, many people have been hesitant about whether it is still necessary to apply for the talent scheme to obtain Hong Kong identity. In fact, according to the information we have received, the case numbers for the talent scheme at the Immigration Department have already exceeded 4,000, while there were only over 2,000 during the same period last year. This indicates that the number of talent applications is significantly increasing! This also confirms what we previously said, that 2022 will be a breakout year for talent applications!

While you are hesitating, others have already taken that step and started to act! Currently, the pandemic situation in Hong Kong is gradually improving. Once the pandemic stabilizes, it is believed that the number of talent applications will further increase, reaching a peak. Therefore, for those interested in applying for the Hong Kong talent scheme, we suggest you quickly prepare your materials and submit your application to avoid competing with more applicants for spots after the pandemic improves!

Additionally, this year is the first year that the talent quota has increased to 4,000 per year, which means that the chances of approval for each applicant will significantly increase this year. Therefore, now is undoubtedly the best time to apply for the talent scheme!
