Four Roads To Hong Kong: Choosing The Right Visa Route For Work, Talent, Business, Or Investment

Hong Kong currently offers several major pathways for internationally mobile individuals to live, work, and eventually settle in the city: the General Employment Policy (GEP), the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), the Investment Visa (Entrepreneur), and the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (New CIES). Many prospective applicants, particularly successful founders, senior executives, and high-net-worth individuals, find they technically qualify for more than one of these routes.
