1. Different selection methods


【Talent Scheme】
The Hong Kong Talent Scheme adopts two scoring systems: the Achievement-based scoring system and the Comprehensive scoring system.

Achievement-based scoring system:Applicants who have received outstanding achievement awards (such as Olympic medals, Nobel Prizes, national/international awards); or applicants who can prove that their work has been recognized by peers or has made significant contributions to their field (e.g., receiving a lifetime achievement award from the industry).

Comprehensive scoring system:A scoring system that conducts a comprehensive assessment of applicants based on their age, education, industry, work experience, language proficiency, etc., with corresponding scoring criteria for each aspect. In principle, a score of 80 points qualifies for application submission.


【High Talent Pass】It categorizes eligible individuals into three categories: A, B, and C. Applicants who meet any one of these can submit their application without scoring.
Category A:Annual salary of over 2.5 million HKD in the previous year;
Category B:Bachelor's degree from a top 100 university in the world + 3 years of work experience accumulated within 5 years;
Category C:Obtained a bachelor's degree from a top 100 university in the world within 5 years.
