Since October 2022, the Hong Kong government has gradually relaxed the talent introduction policy, and the "talent" campaign is even more aggressive.
For example, in the comprehensive scoring system of the "Excellent Talents Program", the item of work experience has added a scoring system for working in well-known companies, which can add an additional 20 points.
How to judge whether your company or enterprise is a well-known enterprise?

listed company
In the range of well-known companies mentioned above, even if there are duplicate companies in the three major lists, there are at least 2,000+ companies that meet the conditions. The scope of listed companies is even broader.
According to the statistical monthly report of the China Listed Association:
As of February 2023, the total number of listed companies in China is as high as 5,112.
According to the HKEX monthly market overview report:
As of the end of March 2023, the number of listed companies in Hong Kong, China is 2,603.
If overseas listed companies are also counted, the number of eligible listed companies is very large.
If you work for companies such as Huawei, Tencent, Byte, Baidu, etc., it is extremely advantageous to apply for the "Talent Program" in Hong Kong.
In addition to the bonus points for well-known companies, applicants who meet the following three requirements can also get a maximum of 30 extra points.
Graduates from well-known universities +30 points
If the bachelor's degree or above is awarded by an internationally recognized prestigious institution, the applicant can get an additional 30 points.
Institutions that meet the requirement for extra points are as follows:
1
Top 100 universities/institutions in one of the four global university rankings published by QS, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Times Higher Education, and US News and World Report;
2
Or the top 30 colleges in the U.S. News & World Report's National Liberal Arts College Rankings.
Currently, the list of institutions in mainland China and Hong Kong that meet the requirements for extra points is as follows:
Overseas work experience +15 points
Work experience is an important scoring item in Hong Kong's "Excellent Talents Scheme".
Applicants with no less than 2 years of international work experience at degree-level or specialist level can receive an additional 15 points.
Most applicants with overseas work experience meet this bonus requirement.
Those who meet the talent list +30 points
If the "Talent Talent Program" is an exam, the "Talent List" is an additional question;
The talent list includes 13 majors, and qualified applicants can get an extra 30 points under the "Comprehensive Points System"!
Not only is there a 30-point gap with the same batch of applicants, but the approval rate is higher, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake for the excellent talent application!
From 2023 to 2025, the Hong Kong government will attract at least 35,000 outstanding people to Hong Kong every year through various talent plans in order to complete the KPI for talent introduction.
The next two years will indeed be a bonus period for applying for Hong Kong identity. If you are considering Hong Kong identity, do take your time.
