Study in Hong Kong


The Hong Kong Study Abroad Immigration Program refers to arrangements for non-local graduates to stay/return to Hong Kong for employment. It is a talent policy formulated by the Hong Kong SAR government to encourage overseas students to study and work in Hong Kong. There is no quota limit, no high asset requirements and no funding. The source proves that it is currently a Hong Kong talent program with a relatively low threshold.

The ways to study abroad in Hong Kong include applying for associate degree + bachelor's degree, bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctoral degree. Usually the most popular one is the one-year master's degree program, which allows you to obtain a student visa to live in Hong Kong. After graduation, you can unconditionally receive a 24-month employment arrangement for non-local graduates to stay/return to Hong Kong (i.e. IANG visa). You can change jobs by renewing the visa. , you can apply for Hong Kong permanent residence status after studying + working for 7 years. The advantage of the Hong Kong study abroad program is that academic qualification improvement and status approval are completed simultaneously, and spouses and children under 18 years old can go to Hong Kong together, which is equivalent to one person studying and the whole family getting Hong Kong status.
