For individuals who hold overseas permanent residency but retain their mainland Chinese household registration, the applicable program must be determined based on their specific circumstances.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Linkage of talent lists.<\/strong> For applicants in fields listed on the talent list (which currently includes 60 fields across multiple industries), employers are not required to demonstrate difficulties in recruiting locally when submitting the relevant applications. This represents a substantial reduction in the burden on employers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quota Arrangements.<\/strong> There are generally no limits on either of them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are an Employer's Responsibilities?<\/h2>\n<p>GEP is<strong>Employer-Driven<\/strong>a process in which the employer bears the primary burden of proof:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Explain why it is necessary to hire non-local talent<\/li>\n<li>Provide job descriptions, compensation structures, and company background information<\/li>\n<li>Evidence of efforts to recruit locally (unless an exemption under the Talent List applies)<\/li>\n<li>Commitment to Comply with the Terms of Employment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For newly established Hong Kong companies, the Immigration Department typically conducts a more thorough review of their business substance: whether they have actual office space, the number of employees, business turnover, and future hiring plans. The approval rate for visa applications submitted by shell companies on behalf of their employees is very low.<\/p>\n<h2>Accommodations and Family Arrangements<\/h2>\n<p>The initial period of stay granted is typically linked to the term of the employment contract and generally lasts for several years; renewals follow a set procedure, and at the time of renewal, the individual must still be in the original position or working in a related field.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to family members, the principal applicant may generally bring their spouse and unmarried dependent children under the age of 18 to Hong Kong. According to publicly available information, the length of stay for dependents is generally tied to that of the sponsor; during this period, they are typically unrestricted in terms of employment or enrollment in educational institutions in Hong Kong. After seven years of continuous ordinary residence in Hong Kong, they may apply to become permanent residents of Hong Kong in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly important for core team members who need housing arrangements.<\/p>\n<h2>Three Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: If I switch to a different job, will my visa still be valid?<\/strong> Generally, you must report the new employment relationship to the Immigration Department or submit a new application; you cannot simply carry over the existing one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I use the GEP program to start a business?<\/strong> GEP is intended for employed individuals. Those starting their own businesses should generally consider other, more appropriate pathways; this approach should not be applied directly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can the GEP and Gaocaitong programs be combined?<\/strong> A person may generally stay in Hong Kong under only one status at a time. If you qualify for multiple entry channels simultaneously, you should make your choice based on your long-term plans rather than submitting multiple applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The official announcement by the Hong Kong Immigration Department shall prevail; no organization may make any promises regarding the outcome of the application.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re verifying that your materials align with the reporting guidelines, feel free to contact a consultant at Qicaiying (WeChat\/Phone: 18676749275), and we\u2019ll walk you through the entire process from start to finish.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Employment Policy is Hong Kong\u2019s primary work visa channel for non-mainland residents, operating in parallel with the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents, which is aimed at mainland residents.
